RT Article T1 A voice within: an autoethnographic account of moving from closed to open prison conditions by a life-sentenced prisoner JF The Howard journal of crime and justice VO 60 IS 4 SP 1 OP 17 A1 Micklethwaite, Daniel A1 Earle, Rod 1958- LA English YR 2021 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1882890396 AB This article explores the lived experience of transitioning from closed toopen prison conditions by a mandatory life-sentenced prisoner. Using autoethnographicmethodology the lead author’s experience of this significant life-sentence event forms thebasis of a wider discussion. Research around this process is lacking. This article examinesthe phenomena around prisoner identity, prison culture and prisoner adaptation; it ex-plores what impact of years spent in the closed prison estate can have on how open prisonconditions are experienced. The authors identify important social and ontological obsta-cles to successful transition to open conditions and reflect on how it exposes the enduringharms resultant from serving a life sentence.
