The soundscape of prison life

for both inmates and staff

is that of constant clangs, bangs and jangles. What is the significance of this cacophonous din to those who live and work with it?

This book tells the story of a year spent with a UK prison community, bringing its social world vividly to life for the first time through aural ethnography.

Kate Herrity's sensory criminology challenges current thinking on how power is experienced by the imprisoned and the lasting effects of incarceration for all who spend time in these environments.
