Abstract

The article published in the British Journal of Sociology discusses the resurgence of prison research focusing on the shared experiences of both prison workers and residents. Kate Herrity's work, "Sound, Order and Survival in Prison," explores the role of sound in shaping life inside HMP Midtown, highlighting the importance of sensory functions in carceral institutions. Herrity's ethnographic study integrates observations with classic works in prison research, advancing the field's understanding of the impact of sound on daily life in prisons. The article emphasizes the need for further research on penal settings and transitions between prison and community, building on Herrity's foundational work. [Extracted from the article]
