Emotions in Prison: using metaphor to explore feelings, order and control

If you have a question about this talk, please contact R Greene .

Emotions are no longer banished to the margins of prisons research, however they still remain notably underexplored. In this lecture, I summarise the key findings from my doctoral research on emotions in prison. I argue that emotions are a powerful lens to view the prison world. To support this claim, I explore the different strategies of managing emotions, using a new framework based on metaphors of water. How prisoners express and suppress particular emotions provides new insights on ‘old’ discussions of power, control and agency in prison settings.
