Prison violence, sound and survival
Kate Gooch, a criminology professor who studies violence and hierarchies in young offender institutions, and Kate Herity, an ethnographer of prison soundscapes, explore prison life through violence and listening. They discuss how sound signals safety or threat. They describe daily routines, coping with constant noise, shifting power on the wings, and how environment and design shape harm and survival.
