We will focus on objective and subjective aspects of ‘othering’ based on risk in prison life, by engaging in prison research on penal philosophies, policies and court decisions, the daily working procedures and realities in Belgian prisons, and the experiences of imprisoned persons in relation to risk during their detention and release trajectory into society. We will innovatively co-construct knowledge on this matter together with imprisoned persons which lead to ground-breaking insights on the lived experiences of risk and ‘othering’ in prison.
