In-cell television is now a permanent feature of prisons in England
and Wales, and a key part of the experience of modern
incarceration. This sociological exploration of prisoners' use of
television offers an engaging and thought provoking insight into
the domestic and everyday lives of people in prison - with
television close at hand. Victoria Knight explores how television
contributes to imprisonment by normalising the prison cell. In
doing so it legitimates this space to hold prisoners for long
periods of time, typically without structured activity. As a
consequence, television's place in the modern prison has also come
to represent an unanticipated resource in the package of care for
prisoners. This book uncovers the complex and rich emotive
responses to prison life. Dimensions of boredom, anger,
frustration, pleasure and happiness appear through the rich
narratives of both prisoners and staff, indicating the ways
institutions and individuals deal with their emotions. It also
offers an insight into the unfolding future of the digital world in
prisons and begins to consider how the prisoner can benefit from
engagement with digital technologies. It will be of great interest
to practitioners and scholars of prisons and penology, as well as
those interested in the impact of television on society.
