Media in de gevangenis: een goed rapport van het gevangenispersoneel én van de gedetineerden
- Heidi Vandebosch
Abstract
This article illustrates that mass media play an important role inside prison walls. Television, radio, magazines and newspapers keep inmates informed about events in society and help them to relax. Meanwhile they perform important functions for the institution: supporting its re-integration goals, helping to reduce the negative side effects of imprisonment and maintaining peace and order in the penitentiary. These findings result from an empirical study of the media use in five Flemish penitentiaries, based on face-to-face interviews with inmates and prison staff.
