In outlining the online expressions of penal life, this book
disrupts the conventional human encounters that underpin empirical
criminological scholarship on prisons because, figuratively
speaking, prisons in Russia are de-nesting from their institutional
moorings and borders. Using the online world of Runet as the
research site and presenting research from selectively drawn
evidence gathered from secondary data from prison-related websites,
it explores the 'moving walls' of the prison from socio-political
and cultural perspectives. The book discusses how prisoners and
their families articulate and give meaning to their experiences
when they are online, and while doing so develop their rights
awareness. This book is a pioneering methodological, criminological
and theoretical study, the first of its kind in global criminology
and humanities, and because it is forging a new path for penal
scholarship, cannot be all-encompassing but rather acts as a 'map'
for other researchers in different fields to use. It will be useful
for scholars working in comparative fields and jurisdictions on the
subject of prisons, rights and how the internet is being utilised
by prisoners, their families and communities organised around
prison activism.
