Abstract

Through the analysis of survey data, collected by HM Inspectorate of Prisons between 2010 and 2019, we examine the responses of adult male prisoners of different ages and ethnicities and the extent to which they report being treated with respect by staff.

Background

This article arises from a feasibility study conducted by the authors in partnership with HM Inspectorate of Prisons for England and Wales (HMIP) to examine whether data archived by HMIP can be made more widely accessible for research purposes.

The Concept of Respect and its Importance within Prison

Prisoners could conceptualise experiences of respect as interpersonal or organisational respect (Hulley, Liebling and Crewe 2011 ).

Experiences of Respect Among BAME Prisoners

The Lammy Review highlighted that BAME prisoners are less likely than white prisoners to report positive relationships with prison staff (Lammy 2017, pp.50–2).

Age, Respect and Behavioural Change

The adult prison population is comprised of individuals of various ages (Mears, Cochran and Siennick 2013) and it is possible that prisoner experiences vary by age as well. Table 3 shows the age breakdown of the prison population in England and Wales on 31 March 2020.

Developments 2010–19

Analyses of aggregated data from surveys undertaken throughout a decade, requires awareness of changes that took place in the make-up of the prison population and the conditions of prisons during that period.

Methods

The quantification of responses to a survey question about respect may conceal detailed accounts of prisoners; however quantification is not an end goal but rather a conduit towards first identifying differences among a sample of the prison population.
