Abstract
Building upon in-depth interviews and field-work research conducted from 2018 to 2020 in the difficult and extremely changeable urban setting of the Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto Prison (Sicily), this article discusses the operational and ethnographic limits and pitfalls that prison works entails. My Ph.D. research studied various relational dynamics linked to the phenomenon of education in prison (Forster 1996), as well as health and the right to health, gender and emotional dynamics (Corazza Padovani 2018). Difficulties and challenges in prison entry, staff resistance, and the unexpected challenges brought about by the advent of the global pandemic Sars-Cov-19 will be reported.Pubblicazioni consigliate
