Abstract

This article is a response to Piche´ and Walby’s (2010) criticism of ‘carceral tours’. It uses 40 reflective accounts, completed by final year students at Birmingham City University, of their visit to HMP Grendon – an annual visit which has been ongoing for ten years – to argue that this ‘carceral tour’ has pedagogical value to the students and is also important to the prisoners and prison staff.
