This page brings together resources that may be useful to early-career and doctoral researchers working on prisons and related topics. Over time, we hope to share readings, methods, resources, event information, funding opportunities, calls for papers, and other materials that support research and professional development.
We are especially interested in resources that reflect the realities of prison research, including ethical practice, trauma-informed approaches, wellbeing, methodological innovation, and interdisciplinary exchange.
If you would like to suggest a resource for inclusion, please contact the network by email or complete this form.
