Opis

This volume 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 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.
