abstract = "This chapter aims to address the scant attention that has been paid to time and temporalities in re-entry and re/integration research. Drawing on data from the {\textquoteleft}Distant Voices—Coming Home{\textquoteright} project, which used creative methods to explore re/integration after punishment—we illustrate and analyse three {\textquoteleft}travails{\textquoteright} of penal time. We use the term travails here to stress the significant, difficult and active work involved in addressing these temporal challenges. Respectively, these travails concern the struggles caused by {\textquoteleft}de-synchrony{\textquoteright} between time inside and outside of prison and the problems of {\textquoteleft}re-synchrony{\textquoteright} that it creates; the contestation of {\textquoteleft}readiness{\textquoteright} for progression and release; and the problem of living with the paradox of {\textquoteleft}enduring temporariness{\textquoteright}. In our conclusion, we argue that tackling these three challenges requires people re-entering society to travel not just through spaces and to places but also through time, both backwards and forwards. These journeys are fraught with both difficulty and danger.",
