“…As tertiary education institutions increas ingly move to onlineonly delivery of courses, people in prison are at increasing risk of being excluded from educational opportunities. 43 An important implication of this study is that it illustrates the potential a deliberative approach has in understanding the views of incarcerated people on research into their health and advancing equity-orientated priority setting.…”

Health disparities in incarcerated populations should guide investment in the health care and research of these communities. Although users of health-care services are important in providing input into decisions about research, the voices of people in prison are absent regarding research into their health. In this Health Policy paper, we present priorities for research into the health of people in prison according to people in prison themselves. By use of a deliberative research approach, citizens' juries were conducted in six prisons (three men's and three women's prisons) in Australia. Participants were selected following submissions of expression of interest forms that were distributed within the prisons. Prerecorded information by experts in the health of incarcerated people was shown to participants. Participants deliberated for up to 4 h before agreeing on five research priorities. All citizens' juries endorsed mental health as a number one research priority. Prison health-care services, alcohol and other drug use, education, and infectious diseases were identified as research priorities by most citizens' juries. Focal points within priorities included serious mental illness; grief and trauma; medication management; health-care service access, quality, and resources; drug withdrawal and peer support; prison-based needle and syringe programmes; and health and life skills education. If endeavours in research priority setting are to consider health equity goals, the views of our most health affected citizens need to be included.

“…Despite the majority of the revised papers emphasize the benefits of online learning (HANCOCK, 2010;BROWN;RIOS, 2014;SEELIG;RATE, 2014;ROTH et al, 2016;DEMIRAY et al, 2016;HOPKINS, 2017;DILORETO et al, 2017, MOREIRA et al, 2017bRENBARGER, et al 2019), some of them also point to less positive results (FARLEY et al, 2014;HOPKINS;, which could be associated to the lack of knowledge on how to learn with digital resources, the limited access to the computer labs and the lack of support from the education officers. In sum, the less favorable learning results were found in two papers' contents underlined in this study: resources and educational staff support.…”

“…At the same time, prisons constitute social realities that are perceived as being fundamentally situated outside of society by incarcerated individuals themselves and that needs an active adjustment through ‘living into the small world’ of the prison (Chatman, 1999: 209). Prisons enhance forms of social exclusion and isolate people who are incarcerated as well as their families and friends (Farley and Hopkins, 2017). In that context, we discuss how the penal regime is re-imagined with and through media technologies that culminates in future visions of the digital, smart prison.…”

The article engages with the notion of the smart prison to develop an understanding of emerging temporalities of digital technologies. The prison context serves here as a magnifying glass that makes certain contradictions and paradoxes of the digital imperative visible. Starting with a brief discussion of smart technology discourses, the article explores the temporalities of real-timeness, prediction and pre-emption that are entangled with digital technologies. Analysing the Spartan RFID tracking tool, the use of algorithms in prison administration and a mobile phone application used in Swedish probation, the article identifies a desynchronization between the temporalities of the incarcerated individuals’ lived experience and the (imagined) temporalities of the smart prison. The findings point to developments that are relevant for the smart, digital society beyond the prison walls.
