Volume 33(1) of the JPP is now available online
As part of the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Criminology, the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons (JPP) and the Division of Convict Criminology launched Volume 33, Number 1, which is a special issue edited by Grant Tietjen (University of Washington – Tacoma), Alison Cox (East Carolina University) and J. Renee Trombley (Metropolitan State University of Denver) marking the 25th anniversary of Convict Criminology. The collection features contributions reflecting on the past, present and future of Convict Criminology, including the role activism can play in scholarship by criminalized people. There are also articles that examine topics such as the challenges associated with securing release from prison and the stigmatizing impact labels have for people deemed to be criminal. The collection also includes cover art from Serge Tkachenko and Oliger Merko that were originally showcased at Prison Creative Arts Project exhibitions.
