Retasking, Curation and Commodification of Punishment; Meanings of
Prison Life and Representations of Punishment in Tourism Sites; Death
and Torture in Prison Museums; Colonialism, Relics of Empire and
Prison Museums; Tourism and Operational Prisons; and Visitor
Consumption and Experiences of Prison Tourism. The Handbook explores
global debates within the field of Prison Tourism inquiry; spanning a
diverse range of topics from political imprisonment and persecution in
Taiwan to interpretive programming in Alcatraz, and the representation
of incarcerated Indigenous peoples to prison graffiti. This Handbook
is the first to present a thorough examination of Prison Tourism that
is truly global in scope. With contributions from both
well-renowned scholars and up-and-coming researchers in the field,
from a wide variety of disciplines, the Handbook comprises an
international collection at the cutting edge of Prison Tourism
studies. Students and teachers from disciplines ranging from
Criminology to Cultural Studies will find the text invaluable as the
