This book offers the first ethnographic account of working prison managers in England. It explores how globalised changes, in particular managerialism, have intersected with local occupational cultures, positioning managers as micro-agents in the relationship between global and local that characterizes late modernity. The Working Lives of Prison Managers addresses key aspects of prison management, including how individuals become prison managers, their engagement with elements of traditional occupational culture, and the impact of the 'age of austerity'. It offers a particular focus on performance monitoring mechanisms such as indicators, audits and inspections, and how these intersect with local culture and individual identity. The book also examines important aspects of identity, including values, discretion, resistance and the use of power. In doing so, it reveals the 'hidden injuries' of contemporary prison managerialism, especially the effects experienced by women and members of minority ethnic groups.
