Participants needed: Have you volunteered in a prison or correctional setting?
Hi everyone,
I’m a postgraduate psychology researcher at Coventry University, and I’m currently conducting a study on the experiences of people who have volunteered in prisons or other correctional settings.
I’m particularly interested in how volunteers perceive and navigate the “us vs. them” divide between the public and individuals who are incarcerated.
I’m looking to speak with:
- Adults (18+), UK based
- Current or former volunteers in prisons, jails, or similar settings
Participation involves a confidential 1-to-1 online interview (around 60 minutes). There’s no compensation, but the aim is to better understand and represent the experiences of prison volunteers, which are often underrepresented in research.
The study has received ethical approval from Coventry University Research Ethics Committee, and all data will be anonymised.
If you’re interested (or would like more information), feel free to comment below or send me a message, and I’ll get back to you.
I’ve attached a flyer with more details.
Thanks for your time, and I’d really appreciate you upvoting or sharing so this reaches anyone it might be relevant to.
