Naturaleza Jurídica de las Capitulaciones Matrimoniales:

Time point one. Five staff members were recruited at time point one. None of these participants worked on the prison wings, although some had held wing-based positions in the past. Four of the participants were white-British and one of the participants was Asian. The participants were all aged between thirty and fifty. Pseudonyms have been provided and each of the participants is described in more detail below:

‘Chloe’

Chloe works in the Programmes team. Chloe’s Manager was one of the scheme coordinators. This is the first prison Chloe has worked in. Chloe is a ‘civvy’, meaning a non- uniformed member of staff. She presented as very friendly and was happy to participate but said she was worried about getting the right answer.

‘Thomas’

Thomas is a Custodial Manager. Thomas told me he had worked in prisons for nearly thirty years, across a variety of establishments, including category A prisons. Thomas was a uniformed member of staff but was not working on the prison wings at the time of our interview but rather held three different roles in the prison. He spoke prior to our interview about the passion he used to feel for prison work.

‘Joanna’

Joanna works in the Programmes Team with Chloe. Her position is a Programmes Facilitator. Despite being a ‘civvy’ at the time of interview, Joanna spoke about her previous role on the wings and considered herself to take the ‘wing-perspective’.

‘Priya’

Priya works in the Safer Custody team. Priya’s role involves coordinating the ACCT documents, which are care plans for vulnerable prisoners. Priya’s role is also a ‘civvy’ role. Priya left her position at the prison a few months after our interview.

Page 54 of 169 ‘Emily’

Emily works as a Triangulator in the Safer Custody Team. Her role is largely around data management and she collates data on incidents that occur within the prison. Emily was also a ‘civvy’ but used to be a uniformed member of staff. Emily was very enthusiastic about her new position and was eager to explain it to me. It was not possible to contact Emily at time point two.

Time point two. Chloe, Joanna and Thomas were all available for interview at the second time point. Chloe and Joanna held the same positions in the prison, however Thomas had moved back to working as a Custodial Manager on a wing. They all presented in a very similar manner to at time point one. Three additional staff were interviewed. All of the

participants were white. Their ages varied, with the youngest participant being in their thirties and the oldest in their fifties.

‘Megan’

Megan is as a Custodial Officer. Due to constraints with staffing, Megan was unable to leave the wing and therefore the interview was carried out in the staff office on the wing. Megan is a uniformed member of staff.

‘Nicky’

Nicky was working in the Activities department, having recently transferred from managing the segregation unit. Nicky was dressed in her prison uniform. Nicky presented as quite assertive and was eager to share her ideas and opinions.

‘Vince’

Vince is a Prison Officer and is classed as a uniformed member of staff. Vince works on the inductions wing, where there is a high turn-over of prisoners, as every new prisoner initially stays on that wing. Vince spoke about the unique nature of his wing.

Page 55 of 169 Time point three. At time point three Thomas was no longer working at the prison. It was not possible to arrange an interview with Megan. In addition to Nicky, Vince, Chloe and Joanna one other staff member was recruited. The youngest participant at time point three was in their twenties, with the oldest being in their fifties. All of the participants were white.

‘Nicky’

Nicky had changed position at time point three, she was working as the Custodial Manager for three wings. Nicky explained that she was very busy and did not have long for the interview. Whilst we did get the chance to cover all the questions on the interview schedule, the time for additional probing questions was limited.

‘Vince’

Vince also described himself as very busy at the time of interview. I attempted to arrange cover whilst he participated but this was unable to be facilitated due to staffing shortfalls. For this reason, our interview had to be conducted on the wing. The telephone rang on two occasions before Vince placed it off the hook, a staff member came into the office to get a water bottle and Vince was contacted repeatedly on the radio system. Vince apologised after the interview, saying he felt under immense pressure and described himself as focussed on calculating which cells the new admissions could stay in, rather than the interview. Despite these factors Vince gave a coherent account of his experiences.

‘Joanna’

Joanna presented very similarly to the previous two occasions. ‘Chloe’

Chloe also presented similarly to how she had at time points one and two. Chloe informed me that she would be leaving the prison service the day after our interview.
