Abstract
This chapter reinforces the principle that research can be about working with and alongside, not ‘on’, people and communities. Despite widespread support for this from those working in health research (Green et al., Health promotion. Planning and strategies, Sage, 2019), there has been reluctance for the translation of these ideas into prison contexts—this, it could be surmised, is for several reasons, including: security concerns and a predominance historically for more quantitative approaches in prison health research. This chapter seeks to outline what participatory research means in prison and moreover to exemplify this using contemporary examples. The added value of participatory methods within prison research will be discussed before the challenges, and ways in which they can be managed, are outlined.
