项目摘要

This proposal uses data from over 100,000 prisoner surveys conducted by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales (HMIP) over the last twenty years to examine how prisoners' reports of their treatment and conditions varies according to their characteristics, sentence and other factors, and how this relates to changes in prison policy and performance over this period. Since June 2000, HMIP has conducted detailed, confidential surveys of prisoners as part of every full prison inspection it undertakes. Throughout this period the surveys have been conducted by accredited government social researchers according to a published methodology (see for example HM Inspectorate of Prisons, 2020a: 73-74). The survey is administered by independent HMIP researchers without any participation by prison staff. Participation is entirely voluntary and individual respondents cannot be identified. The resulting database consists of survey data from at least 100,000 respondents and contains more than 10 million analysable responses. These have been collected from every prison and young offender institution (YOI) in England and Wales. Furthermore, as HMIP's remit has expanded over this period (HM Inspectorate of Prisons, 2019: 6-7) it has conducted regular surveys in Secure Training Centres (these hold children between the ages of 12 and 17 years of age), Immigration Removal Centres, and Military Detention Centres: this provides a wealth of accessible but as yet unexplored data for prisons and other places of detention. Following a successful feasibility study conducted by Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL) in collaboration with HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) during the first half of 2020, an infrastructure is now in place for a large-scale historical database to be prepared, analysed, and made accessible to academic researchers for the first time. The research will use analyses of prisoners' own accounts of their experience recorded in their survey responses to develop new insights into the most pressing issues facing the prison system at this time: deteriorating safety with high rates of assaults, self-harm and suicide; consistently high reoffending rates for those released from prison; restrictions on the time prisoners are able to spend out of their cells participating in work, education and rehabilitative activities; and how these differ according to prisoners' characteristics. The need to use prisoners' experience to address these topics and the importance of them to the operation of safe, decent and rehabilitative prisons is addressed in a large body of academic literature. The proposed research has an immeduate and direct relevance to how prisons will emerge from the restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic and the need to address the disproportionality highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. The project team will work closely with practitioners, other experts and former (and if possible current) prisoners to develop practical guidance and recommendations arising from the research and leave the data base as a lasting legacy from the project, enabling teachers and researchers to make use of this previously hidden resource. We have been encouraged by the responses we received in the prisoner focus groups we ran during the feasibility study which expressed the wish for the surveys to be used positively to support improvement and the value senior policy makers have identified in this work and their desire to play an active role within the project advisory group.

这项建议使用了女王陛下的英格兰和威尔士监狱总督察(HMIP)在过去20年进行的100,000多项囚犯调查的数据，以研究囚犯关于他们的待遇和状况的报告如何根据他们的特征、刑期和其他因素而变化，以及这与这段时期监狱政策和表现的变化有何关系。自2000年6月以来，HMIP对囚犯进行了详细、保密的调查，作为其进行的每一次全面监狱检查的一部分。在此期间，调查由经认可的政府社会研究人员根据已公布的方法进行(例如，见英国监狱监察局，2020a：73-74)。这项调查由独立的HMIP研究人员管理，监狱工作人员没有任何参与。参与完全是自愿的，无法确定个别受访者的身份。由此产生的数据库由至少10万名受访者的调查数据组成，包含1000多万份可分析的答复。这些是从英格兰和威尔士的每一所监狱和少年犯机构(YOI)收集的。此外，由于HMIP的职权范围在此期间扩大(监狱监察局，2019：6-7)，它在安全培训中心(关押12至17岁的儿童)、移民遣送中心和军事拘留中心进行了定期调查：这为监狱和其他拘留场所提供了大量可获取但尚未探索的数据。在2020年上半年伦敦皇家霍洛威大学(RHUL)与英国监狱监察局(HMIP)合作进行了一项成功的可行性研究之后，现在已经建立了一个基础设施，以便准备、分析大型历史数据库，并首次向学术研究人员开放。这项研究将利用对囚犯在调查答复中记录的自己经历的分析，对监狱系统目前面临的最紧迫问题提出新的见解：袭击、自残和自杀率高，安全性不断恶化；出狱人员的再犯罪率始终居高不下；对囚犯走出牢房参与工作、教育和改造活动的时间限制；以及这些问题根据囚犯的特征有何不同。大量学术文献论述了利用囚犯的经验来处理这些主题的必要性以及这些主题对安全、体面和康复监狱的运作的重要性。拟议的研究直接关系到监狱将如何摆脱新冠肺炎疫情造成的限制，以及解决黑人生命也是命运动所凸显的不相称性的必要性。项目组将与从业人员、其他专家和前囚犯(如果可能的话)密切合作，制定从研究中产生的实用指导和建议，并将数据库作为项目的持久遗产，使教师和研究人员能够利用这一以前隐藏的资源。我们感到鼓舞的是，我们在可行性研究期间管理的囚犯焦点小组收到的答复表示，希望积极利用调查来支持改进工作，高级政策制定者在这项工作中发现了价值，他们希望在项目咨询小组中发挥积极作用。
