Focusing on writings by prisoners from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries across North America, South Africa, and Europe, this analysis explores how these authors reshape concepts of subjectivity in relation to social power, particularly within the prison system. Jason Haslam draws connections between prison and slave narratives while examining the works of notable figures like Thoreau, Jacobs, Wilde, King, Lytton, and Breytenbach, highlighting both shared themes and unique perspectives in their experiences.
