Abstract

Prison has been described as the ultimate form of time-punishment - a place where time is no longer a commodity for individuals to spend, but is ordered by a system which symbolises its power through the control of segments of people's lives. As such, a prison sentence epitomises the experience of waiting. Yet anticipating release is not the only form of waiting within carceral life; waiting for healthcare in its various forms also shapes people's temporal experience. Drawing on interviews with 21 people who have lived in prison, this article describes how experiences of waiting for healthcare are mediated by expectation or hope, perceptions of the relationship between behaviour and healthcare access, and the consequences of waiting for care. Constraints on the autonomy of people in prison mean that waiting for healthcare differs in important ways from waiting for healthcare in the community, and can be perceived as an additional form of punishment. The experience of waiting for prison healthcare can affect physical and psychological well-being, and can in itself be understood as a pain of imprisonment.

试图与外面非常缓慢的系统作斗争":在英国监狱中等待医疗服务的经历。
监狱被描述为时间惩罚的终极形式--在这里,时间不再是供个人挥霍的商品,而是由一个通过控制人们生活的各个环节来象征其权力的系统来安排。因此,监狱服刑是等待体验的缩影。然而,期待释放并不是监禁生活中唯一的等待形式;各种形式的医疗等待也塑造了人们的时间体验。本文通过对 21 名曾经在监狱生活过的人进行访谈,描述了等待医疗服务的经历是如何受到期望或希望、对行为与医疗服务之间关系的看法以及等待医疗服务的后果的影响的。监狱服刑人员的自主权受到限制,这意味着他们在等待医疗服务时与在社区等待医疗服务时有很大不同,而且可能被视为一种额外的惩罚形式。等待监狱医疗服务的经历会影响身心健康,其本身也可被理解为监禁的痛苦。

The readership of the journal is wide and drawn from different disciplines and from workers both inside and outside the health care professions. Widely abstracted, Health: ensures authors an extensive and informed readership for their work. It also seeks to offer authors as short a delay as possible between submission and publication. Most articles are reviewed within 4-6 weeks of submission and those accepted are published within a year of that decision.
