Furthermore, the third article from her thesis has recently been published in the journal Incarceration, with the title "Prisonlike or prison-lite? Drug recovery units and penal hybridity in Norway." In the article, Rose explores how drug recovery units in Norwegian prisons are perceived as safer, more therapeutically beneficial, and more privileged environments than other prison wards, while at the same time being more challenging, punitive, and at times more painful places to be. The work is based on ethnographic fieldwork and 55 interviews (33 incarcerated individuals and 22 staff members).
