Making Waves behind Bars: The Prison Radio Association

Charlotte Bedford

doi:10.46692/9781529203387

Focusing on one of the most interesting developments in UK prisons over the past ten years, this book examines the early history of the Prison Radio Association and the formation of the first national radio station for prisoners. It shows how a relatively small-scale media activism came to be an intrinsic part of prison culture.
