Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge Bethany, Jason, and Kate for giving me the opportunity to delve into areas of my research that otherwise may have remained hidden, as well as for their careful and thoughtful reading of an earlier version of this chapter. I am also grateful to Kathryn Goldfarb, Ellen Badone, and Katrina Lamont for their thoughtful and incisive comments. I would also like to acknowledge the Maine Department of Corrections for their support of my study. My deepest gratitude to Daniel, the prison hospice volunteers, Kandyce, and the Maine Hospice Council and Centre for End of Life Care. The study was supported by the University of Colorado at Boulder through a Visiting Research Scholar appointment, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the School of Graduate Studies and Department of Anthropology at McMaster University.
