Funded Activity Summary

Generativity in young male (ex)prisoners: caring for self, other, and future within prison and beyond. As strategic basic research, the project will provide practitioners and academics with much needed qualitative data on the social, cultural and emotional dimensions of incarceration and how these impact life within and beyond custody. Such knowledge is critical for developing policies and practices capable of meaningfully reducing the high rates of reincarceration in all Australian states and territories. Importantly, the focus on generativity offers a new conceptual lens through which to reconsider the philosophy and practice of imprisonment, and, more specifically, to prisoner management or 'through-care' with regard to those who constitute the majority of the prison population nationally and internationally (young males).
