Abstract:

'An important contribution to interactional studies, Prison Discourse
demonstrates thorough and enlightening ways of interpreting the social
control in prisons. Andrea Mayr closely examines written texts and
classroom discussions, noting the word choices, phrase selections,
modalities, and interactive moves among inmates and officers.'
Patricia E. O'Connor, Associate Professor, Georgetown University

With unique and powerful data from within a big city prison, this book
clarifies the role that conversational analysis can have within a
Critical Discourse Analysis perspective. In a detailed linguistic
analysis of the language use of prison officers and prisoners involved
in a prison based course, the author charts the shifting power
relations of control and resistance and situates the findings in a
broader sociological analysis of the prison as an institution. The
study will interest sociolinguists, discourse analysts, and
researchers in communication studies, criminology and counselling.
