This book is concerned with the media's role in everyday life,
power relations and the construction of masculine identities in the
context of prisons. It is based upon unique research into the
nature, impact and consequences of a situation where most prisoners
in English prisons have access to some media resource, whether
radio or television, or with communal or individual access to it.
Captive Audience charts for the first time the way in which prisons
use media in coping - or failing to cope - with the pressures of
prison life, exploring the impact of the media in terms of prisoner
identities, shaping power relations between prisoners and other
prisoners, and in helping prisoners 'get through' a prison
sentence. At the same time this book raises a range of broader
issues of theory and practice on the nature of the relationship
between prisons, criminal justice systems and society more
generally, and on the ways in which the media are conceived in
everyday life. It will be of interest to all those concerned with
prisons, criminology and the criminal justice system, the social
role of the media, and the construction of identity.
