Prisoners regulating prisons: Voice, action, participation and riot.

Prisoners are a critical source of prison regulation around the world, but regulation (rather than ) prisoners remains little analysed. In this article, we utilise the 1990 riots at HMP Strangeways (England), as a case study of prisoners (re)shaping imprisonment. We examine prisoners' roles in these riots and subsequent cross-sectoral regulatory activities.
