Sound, Order and Survival in Prison: The Rhythms and Routines of HMP Midtown


Add your own review!

Overview

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.

Reviews

""This book will be a key source as we move forward in seeking to fully understand sound as an aspect of carceral experiences and environments."" Crime, Media, Culture “Kate Herrity's research on the sounds of prison life is one of the most vivid – or rather, resonant – new contributions to prison studies in many a long year. It refreshes our feel for what is involved in inhabiting that world as very few other studies have done. Our methods and our concepts for apprehending that reality can never be quite the same again.” Richard Sparks, University of Edinburgh
