“…This also allows a minority group to have a voice; when discussing sexual offenders Waldram (2007) argues that "everybody, indeed, has a story, and these stories do speak to our understanding of the human condition" (p.969). If we are to understand how to care and manage transgendered sex offenders then we must give them the opportunity to speak.…”

“…This is similar to procedures used in other qualitative research with prison populations (Lindberg, 2005;de Viggiani, 2007;Goulding, 2007;Waldram, 2007). However, it was recognised that prisoners are a transient and mobile group and may be released early or transferred to other establishments before the transcript can be returned.…”

Lay understandings of health and illness have a well established track record and a plethora of research now exists which has examined these issues. However, there is a dearth of research which has examined the perspectives of those who are imprisoned. This paper attempts to address this research gap. The paper is timely given that calls have been made to examine lay perspectives in different geographical locations and a need to re-examine health promotion approaches in prison settings.Qualitative data from thirty-six male sentenced prisoners from three prisons in England were collected. The data was analysed in accordance with Attride-Stirling's (2001) thematic network approach. Although the men's perceptions of health were broadly similar to the general population, some interesting findings emerged which were directly related to prison life and its associated structures. These included access to the outdoors and time out of their prison cell as well as maintaining relationships with family members through visits. The paper proposes that prisoners' lay views should be given higher priority given that prison health has traditionally been associated with medical treatment and the bio-medical paradigm more generally. It also suggests that in order to fulfil the World Health Organization's (WHO) vision of viewing prisons as health promoting settings, lay views should be recognised to shape future health promotion policy and practice.

“…Por cuanto la etnografía exige estar allí, el 'hang out' del que habla Waldram (2007) o el 'being around' que mencionara Lyons (1992), el aburrimiento es consubstancial al trabajo de campo. Pero en el caso de la prisión resulta sobrecogedor.…”

Resumen: Como modalidad de investigación narrativa, la autoetnografía enfatiza la parte más personal del proceso de investigación. En este artículo, el relato autoetnográfico se utiliza para reflexionar sobre el trabajo de campo de un estudio etnográfico previo desarrollado en el polideportivo de una prisión de máxima seguridad española. Los datos recogidos en aquella ocasión han sido reexaminados ahora para explicitar críticamente los pasos dados. De este modo, se ponen de manifiesto tanto los dilemas éticos enfrentados, las complejas relaciones sociales que el proceso de investigación encerró, así como la falibilidad de las decisiones tomadas.Resumo: Como uma forma de pesquisa narrativa, autoetnografía enfatiza a parte mais pessoal do processo de investigação. Neste artigo, a história autoetnografica é usada para refletir sobre o trabalho de campo de um estudo etnográfico anterior realizado no pavilhão desportivo de uma prisão espanhola de segurança máxima. Os dados recolhidos nesse momento são re-analisados para fazer crítica explícita das decisões tomadas. Assim, eles revelam os dilemas éticos enfrentados, as relações sociais complexas que surgem durante o processo de pesquisa e a falibilidade das decisões tomadas.Abstract: As a type of narrative inquiry, autoethnography emphasizes the more personal side of the research process. In this paper, the autoethnographic story is used to reflect upon a previous ethnographic study carried out in the sports hall of a maximum security Spanish prison. Data gathered in the ethnographic study are re-analyzed to make critically explicit the decisions taken. Therefore, ethical dilemmas and complex social relations arise during the research process, while fallibility of decisions taken are highlighted.
