Abstract

In this section we seek to offer a brief description of living conditions in overcrowded prisons. We listened to and recorded convicts in individual interviews and group discussions. We sought, as far as possible, to work ‘with’ prisoners rather than ‘on’ them. Once the general theme was defined together, that is prison conditions in the current situation of overcrowding, we asked the prisoners to suggest issues which they would subsequently discuss in ‘communicative discussion groups’. Some of the interviews we gathered were carried out by the convicts themselves with their fellow prisoners, under our supervision.
