Does anybody know of any research that focuses on the functioning and culture of Segregation Units in the UK?
Or does my present job as an orderly give me a chance to add something new to the literature?

About Me
- prisonerben
- United Kingdom
- Previously known as "one of Britain's best known prisoners...he constantly questions authority and exposes the futility of the system" The Times, Ben was finally released from prison after 32 years in August 2012. Pleading guilty to the murder of a friend when he was 14 years old, he renounced violence and fought for the recognition of the inherent dignity of all human beings. As a result of speaking truth to power, he served far longer than the recommended 10 years, leading Education Secretary Michael Gove to argue that he had "been punished excessively for a crime committed as a child". One of the more intellectual of prisoner-campaigners, Ben chose to educate himself from schoolboy level to having both undergraduate and post graduate degrees. He is currently one of very few prisoners in Britain ever to attempt a Doctorate. Ben's speciality is non-violent action and the Human Needs Theory. Now on Life Licence, He is forging a career as a CJ policy consultant, writer and - as ever - campaigner.
No matter what topic or subject, Ben'll always add something new, I don't think he can help it, its his nature :D
ReplyDeleteThinking of you this evening. Is it your last night in that cell? Do you move tomorrow or are the strikes going to put a spanner in the works?
