Navigating Mental Health in the Male Open Prison

Pains, Power and Peer Support

About this book

Navigating Mental Health in the Male Open Prison re-examines how mental health is managed within the male open prison, focusing on the under-explored role of peer support during transfer, transition, and adaptation. Schreeche-Powell addresses a neglected gap in penal research by investigating how 'well-meaning interventions' can produce unintended, iatrogenic harms. Through the lens of power and pain, the book critically explores how peer-led support operates at a time of heightened stress and uncertainty to support adaptation and transition to the open prison environment.

With attention to theory, lived experience, and policy development, this book offers a vital and timely analysis of peer support and how it can better support those navigating the emotional and institutional complexities of open prison life.
