Reforming Segregation through the Perspectives of Correctional Officers
Despite international calls to abolish the use of segregation in prisons, the practice has been defended by some Canadian correctional workers as a sometimes-necessary practice to preserve prisoner and staff safety. Informed through a lens of risk and the socio-legal literature on segregation, the current interview study explores perspectives on segregation from 28 correctional officers (COs) employed in provincial correctional services at a pris…
A Right to Know? Using Access to Information as Method in Critical Criminological Research
Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) requests are becoming an increasingly common method of qualitative inquiry, particularly for critical criminologists in Canada who face barriers in accessing Canadian prisons to conduct research. This article explores the politics of institutional gatekeeping and highlights the ongoing policing of critical criminological knowledge, necessitating the use of ATIP as a data collection method. Two case studies…
Direct supervision and the epistemic culture of prisons
In this study, we critically examine how provincial correctional officers in Atlantic Canada interpret and disseminate knowledge around direct supervision in the context of a new correctional institution under construction to replace Her [His] Majesty’s Penitentiary—Canada’s oldest prison. Direct supervision is a model intended to facilitate positive, pro-social relationships between correctional staff and incarcerated people, to build therapeuti…

In the current study, we explored the prison design and infrastructural changes that Canadian correctional officers consider to be essential in the construction of a new provincial correctional institution intended to replace Her Majesty's Penitentiary (HMP) in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Analyzing 28 semi‐structured interviews conducted with correctional officers employed at HMP, we found the poor working conditions withi…

We begin this article by conceptualizing how ‘crisis governance’ produces new practices of p…
