Description

HEBC Research Group Wellbeing Talk Series 9

Organisers/ Chair: Kimberley M. Hill and Josephine Chen-Wilson
Speaker: Sally Tilt

Abstract:
In 2016 two prisons introduced a project to provide laptop computers for prisoners with the stated objective of improving rehabilitation. Applying a sequential explanatory mixed methodology, the research initially
explored relationships between prisoners’ use of personal computers with prisoners’ agency for desistance and prisoners’ wellbeing. The psychological processes by which relationships occurred were explored
using mediation analysis. A qualitative study followed with the aim of understanding the prisoner experience of living with a computer in their cell and to explain the findings from the quantitative study. The research has
implications for digital prison policy and adds to the psychological literature on forensic cyberpsychology.
