Recent years have seen major changes to the interpersonal landscape of prisons in NSW. These have included rollout of digital tablets to all people in prison, coinciding with substantial shifts in how they maintain contact with friends and family in the community, in addition to training of all prison staff in the Five Minute Interventions (FMI) suite of relational skills and practices. Drawing on a number of quantitative and qualitative studies, we explore how digital tablets and resulting changes to connectedness with community, as well as FMI, interact to impact upon people's experiences of prison climates and indicators of prosocial change.
