ABSTRACT. By bringing debates over experiential time within human geography and criminology/prison sociology into dialogue with one another, this article draws attention to the imperative of considering time in the geographical study of incarceration. Informed by an understanding of space and time which sees them as analytically inseparable from each other, TimeSpace, it revisits existing empirical material previously generated through qualitative research within criminology and prison sociology, and identifies some potential synergies with human geography; in highlighting overlapping temporalities in a carceral context, and in demonstrating both the significance of perceived control over time, and the experience of the lifecourse, when past, present and future are viewed through “each successive now” in a context where (clock) time “moves on” but space is fixed.

“…The women were all white and in heterosexual relationships, and further research is needed to develop an understanding of the experiences of other women, including lesbians, members of minority ethnic groups, and disabled women. 6 This research contributes to the developing enterprise of rendering women visible in all aspects of criminal justice, and complements recent discussions of issues of age, ageism and the invisibility of older people in criminal justice policy and practice(Codd 1994(Codd , 1995(Codd , 1998aWahidin 1999). It is important to note, however, that the study aimed to document the lived experiences of the women interviewed, rather than to provide comparative data comparing the experiences of prisoners' partners on the basis of age.…”

“…2 The interviews took place between September 1996 and October 1997. 3 The importance of age and cohort is increasingly recognised in social research and in relation to crime and criminal justice(Pain 1997;Codd 1998a). In this context, further research is needed to clarify the relevance of age and cohort to the benefits of self-help group membership.…”

Recent research has recognised the role of self-help groups in helping women cope with the imprisonment of a male partner. However, little research has explored the benefits of membership, beyond the pragmatic recognition that the groups meet an unmet need for support and information. With reference to the findings of recent qualitative research conducted by the author in the UK, this article integrates interdisciplinary perspectives drawn from criminal justice research, family theory and gender studies to construct a gendered theoretical framework for understanding the significance and value of group membership, exploring gendered ideologies of caring and questioning the role of self-help groups in empowering women.

“…I n recent years a growing body of academic research has explored issues raised by the participation of older people in crime and the response of the Criminal Justice System (Codd, 1994(Codd, , 1995(Codd, , 1996(Codd, , 1998Bramhall & Codd, 1996;Wahidin, 1999;Brogden & Nijhar, 2000;Pain, 1997;Phillips, Worrall & Brammer, 2000). Although there is some emergent official recognition of the needs of elderly prison inmates (Codd, 1994;Wahidin, 1999;Ware, 2001), older people sentenced to community penalties remain larg e l y invisible.…”
