This book advances conceptualisations and empirical understanding
of the prison cell. It discusses the complexities of this specific
carceral space and addresses its significance in relation to the
everyday experiences of incarceration. The collected chapters
highlight the array of processes and practices that shape carceral
life, adding the cell to a rich area of discussion in penal
scholarship, criminology, anthropology, sociology and carceral
geography. The chapters highlight key aspects such as penal
philosophies, power relationships, sensory and emotional
engagements with place to highlight the breadth and depth of
interdisciplinary perspectives on the prison cell: a contested
place of home, labour and leisure. The Prison Cell's empirical
attention is global in its consideration, bringing together both
contemporary and historical work that focuses upon the cell in the
Global North and South including examples from a variety of
geographical locations and settings, including police custody,
prisons and immigrant detention centres. This book is an important
and timely intervention in the growing and topical field of
carceral studies. It presents the only standalone collection of
essays with a sole focus on the space of the cell.
This book explores how an audience of men serving sentences in an
English prison responded to viewing five contemporary British
prison films. It examines how media representations of prison vary
in style and content, how film can influence public attitudes, and
how this affects people in prison. The book explains the ways in
which film acts as a power resource, presenting an ideological
vision of criminal justice. The audience used these films to map
the social terrain of prison, including issues of power and
resistance; race and racism; corruption and the illicit economy;
and staff-prisoner relationships, themes which are explored in the
films screened. The authors argue that media consumption is one of
the ways in which people in prison construct and maintain an ideal
of the prisoner culture and what it is to be a 'prisoner'. The book
also reveals the ways in which audience members' media choices and
readings are part of the ongoing process of constructing their
self-identity. This book illuminates the complex ways in which
media consumption is an integral part of social power, cultural
formation and identity construction. Recognising and engaging with
audiencehood offers one potential route for supporting more
progressive penal practice. This book speaks to those interested in
prisons, crime, media and culture, and film studies.
