PRISONS
Laurie Taylor visits England’s oldest prison, the Tower of London, to talk to ex-prison governor and criminologist, Professor David Wilson, about a new project whose aim is to bring fans of prison drama into contact with penal experts and reformers.
Wilson believes that popular cultural constructions of prison such as Porridge and the Shawshank Redemption may inadvertently lead to public complacency over the real state of contemporary penal institutions.
SEX CULTURE
Laurie Taylor alsoÌýtalks to two leading feminist theorists, Rosalind Gill and Professor Angela McRobbie, about growing concerns over our increasingly frank sex culture.Ìý Is what Angela McRobbie has called Porn Chic, a victory or rather a reverse in terms of progressing towards sexual equality?
