“…Although not necessarily conceptualised as a theory, but rather a philosophical concept, the SI has been a mainstay of the field of sociology since C. Wright Mills (1959) published his book The SI. Since then, it has been taken through various applications, from anthropology (Scheper-Hughes, 2009), geography (Phillips, 1998), social psychology (Gecas, 1989) and even scholarships outside what we would refer to as the "social sciences," such as economics (Dinnerstein et al, 2014) and business (Kushins & Behounek, 2020). The SI offers a unique grounding in which social experiences can be elaborated upon, encouraging deep reflexive practice.…”

The sociological imagination (SI) has been an important framework relied upon by the field of sociology. This paper intertwines the SI with reflexive narrative to illuminate insight into the carceral experience from the perspective of an incarcerated person. Combining reflexive practice and drawing on various sociological principles, it delves deeply into the emotions, concerns, context in how the prison system fails incarcerated people. Interrogating various themes including, employment, homosexuality in prisons, and the underlying social misconceptions of the utility of prisons; It spotlights the realities of people under the care and control of the correctional system by drawing on autoethnography, theory and empirical evidence. The use of the SI in elaborating upon the carceral experience provides a more intimate approach not otherwise explored in the traditional modes of criminological inquiry, adding an important person-centred dimension to the analysis of the carceral experience.
