DESCRIPTION:The variegated penal voluntary sector (PVS) is an important\, 
 complex and under-theorised area. The diverse non-profit\, non-statutory o
 rganisations comprising the sector are highly significant in the operation
  of punishment around the world\, but very little is known about the PVS a
 nd its work. Burgeoning scholarship has begun to examine specific parts of
  the sector\, particularly individualised service delivery. I present a fi
 ve paradigm PVS model\, which offers a systematic means of conceptualising
  the whole PVS\, by applying and extending Burrell and Morgan’s (1979) f
 our paradigm model of social theory. I introduce a novel fifth paradigm\, 
 to reflect the (potential) roles of brokers in directing activity. Our pol
 itically enabling sociology of the PVS demonstrates the full (potential) s
 pectrum of PVS activity. I hope that this will stimulate further nuanced P
 VS analyses and highlight (potential) strategies to challenge problematic 
 carceral practices through inquiry\, practice and activism.
