Maggie Hall commented on benny cooney's blog post 'psychosocial criminology, the relevance when considering personality disorders'"You must watch Shadd Maruna's talk on psychopathy
Personality disorder is short hand for I can't diagnose this person , and I have no idea what to do with them. Does it provide an adequate paradigm for explaining behaviour at all?"
Maggie Hall commented on Gergely Fliegauf's blog post 'Prisons are time machines'"I have always thought of prisons as "incubators" of all these negative things. Prisons often see the emergence of new physical diseases and illnesses first, new strains of flu etc. They work to deepen and intensify social problems…"
Maggie Hall commented on Fabio's group 'Prison research support group'"Hi all - I was able to record the interviews with prisoners on a small hand held recorder.

Hi Maggie, thanks for the message. Is your friend Kate Rossmanith? I read her recent article in The Monthly and have made contact with her. My research is going well although the ethics approval process was protracted, of course. I've started my fieldwork in 2 prisons and have 23 interviews so far. The inmates have been very articulate and insightful in discussing their experience of using video links between prison and court and have given me very rich data. I'm heading back to a prison in November for a few more days. It has been a challenging (and confronting) experience, especially as many inmates are very reticent to be interviewed which is quite understandable. I've had to deal with prisons having partial or full lockdowns as well, which make access to inmates even more difficult. But overall, it's a pretty amazing experience and I'm really happy with the quality of interviews so far. How are things with you?
