Rachel Forrester-Jones

Rutherford College and Tizard Centre, University of Kent, UK

In this article, it is demonstrated that a dichotomy exists between wider societal movements to develop communication between individuals and among institutions and management practices within a young offenders institution. The principle aimof the article is to illustrate how young offenders are being systematically denied the opportunity to socially interact with others at an appropriate level. The significance of social exchange for these prisoners and howthey achieve this is highlighted. The article concludes by suggesting some recommendations in relation to communication within young offenders institutions.

Key Words: young offenders • communication • social interaction
