Making Room for In-Cell Television: Access, Availability and Points of Use

Abstract

This chapter provides contextual background to the introduction of in-cell television to prison. This discussion draws upon data from interviews with prisoners and staff together with data from the television-use diaries. The first part of this chapter charts how in-cell television is accessed and made available to prisoners in line with the behaviour management policy framed fundamentally by the IEP system; the final part reports on the habitual use of television recorded in the television diaries collected from prisoners.
