Imprisoned by choice: a researcher in Icelandic prisons
Professor Francis Pakes has spent the last decade researching prisons in some Nordic countries, including Iceland. He spent a week as a quasi-prisoner in two open prisons there to better understand life in prison in Iceland. We discuss how he felt going into prison, some of the experiences he had as a quasi-prisoner there and how vastly different the culture inside prison is in Iceland, where prison officers would sometimes bring their dogs or children to work.
One bonus episode of Evolving Prisons is released every month and these episodes don't appear on the main page. You can subscribe to listen to these bonus episodes for £2.99 a month here.
