Description
Remote Control Television in Prison by Victoria Knight offers a thought-provoking insight into the domestic and everyday lives of people in prison. This sociological exploration reveals how television contributes to imprisonment, normalising the prison cell as a space for long-term incarceration. The book uncovers the complex and rich emotive responses to prison life, including dimensions of boredom, anger, frustration, pleasure, and happiness. It also considers the unfolding future of digital technologies in prisons and their potential benefits for prisoners. A valuable resource for practitioners and scholars of prisons and penology, as well as those interested in the impact of television on society. By examining the role of television in modern prisons, Knight sheds light on the ways institutions and individuals deal with emotions and the evolving relationship between technology and incarceration.
