Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.Dignity 2.Detention 3.Release 4.Removal 5.IndignityReviews'In this empirically rich account, Alice Gerlach offers extensive evidence of the ways in which immigration detention erodes women's sense of dignity and self-worth during their confinement and long afterwards. As the use of detention continues to contract in the UK in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, this book spurs us on to roll back this practice altogether. The women's accounts, which have been sensitively gathered, illuminate the deep pain this practice causes, and its long-term effects.' Professor Mary Bosworth, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford 'Within the increasing academic literature on border criminology, there remains limited empirical research on immigration detention, and less still on women's experiences. Alice Gerlach's book expertly addresses this substantial gap in knowledge. Drawing on the concept of dignity, this valuable addition to the literature unfolds women's experiences of the pains of immigration detention, and the challenges of social reintegration following deportation.' Dr Hindpal Singh Bhui, HM Inspectorate of Prisons Inspector & Visiting Professor, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford Author InformationAlice Gerlach is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Oxford Brookes University, UK.
