Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, I discuss certain issues inherent in adopting a first-person perspective in prison research. As a research arena, prisons pose certain obvious and some less obvious challenges, not least in relation to the power hierarchies among inmates and between inmates and staff. In a recently completed participatory research project (in print, 2010), fifty Danish women in four different Danish prisons told me about their prison experiences. Two were low-security prisons, and two were high-security. Both men and women are incarcerated in all four prisons. Some women serve in a women-only wing where no men are allowed, although both work and leisure time is spent with men. When men and women serve in a mixed wing, they do not share cells, but they do share the facilities such as kitchen, living room, bath and toilets. For the participatory research project, I spent two weeks in each prison, during which time I participated in various parts of the incarcerated women’s everyday life. My research revolved around an analysis of the women’s social life when they are among women only, and when they mingle with other women AND men, in an attempt to determine whether the hierarchy among prisoners produce bullying (Ireland, 2002). The exploration of these issues from the women’s perspective revealed things that challenged my personal and professional knowledge and opinions. However, to produce an accurate analysis of the social processes, I must first answer certain questions about the women: • Do they reproduce a patriarchal focus on women’s position in relation to men? • Do they reproduce a lifelong suppression when they on the one hand describe severe violence in their marriages and on the other emphasize that they prefer serving their sentences in mixed wings? • Do the women reproduce a suppressive attitude towards women as such when they emphasize that they do not want to serve in a women-only wing? Thus, the present paper represents an attempt to determine how to answer these questions while maintaining a first-person perspective.
