Prison fieldwork commences

Over the last few weeks I've commenced my fieldwork in  two NSW correctional centres. The process has been intense and not without difficulties as I try to negotiate inmates' (understandable) reluctance to be interviewed and the prison system's occasional partial or full lockdowns.

Nevertheless the work has been rewarding and I've found willing inmate participants to be both articulate and insightful of their experiences in using video links between prison and courtrooms. Corrective Services' staff have been incredibly helpful and obliging making the whole process as smooth as possible.
