Managing apprentices and managing PhD students Erica Smith University of Ballarat
What's the similarities? A three-to four year 'contract of training'; A combination of 'theory' and 'practice'; Difficulty in attracting suitable applicants; Often a single supervisor; Low rate of pay (for apprentices and full- time PhD students) ( Stipend $23,000 p.a., comparable to second year cooking apprentices ); National concern about attrition and retention, and about quality.
Research method Pre-existing interviews from the Psychological Contract project (Smith, Walker & Brennan Kemmis, 2011) and the Apprentice Demand project (Smith & Bush, 2010); Phone or face-to-face interviews with six Deans/Directors of Graduate Studies using similar interview protocol; Analysed two interviews from each for this paper.
Nature of organisations DDOGS- Capital Uni ('Group of Eight') (2500 students) and Regional uni (600 students); Apprentice managers- Power Co electricity distribution (240 apprentices) and Electro GTO (250 apprentices) (group training organisation); All were multi-site except Capital Uni Capital Uni was highly devolved; Electro GTO had the added complication of host employers; Capital Uni and Cable Co seen as 'elite' with high completion rates.
Structures The unis and the companies had both central and Faculty/department arrangements The companies had 'field officers' All organisations had 'workplace supervisors'
Recruitment and selection Importance of good selection; Processes much more rigorous in companies; unis often selected on paperwork; Unis constrained by national guidelines; Unis more relaxed about applicant quality and willing to 'rescue'; Universities found it difficult to attract enough high quality applicants; the companies had many applicants but quality not always good
Recruiting for the profession Capital Uni considered it was supplying a substantial part of the research workforce of Australia Cable Co supplied the electricity distribution industry of Queensland; Electro GTO by its nature supplied the industry Cable Co and Capital uni paid over the 'award rate'
Performance management Formal progress reports in both unis and in Cable Co. In all cases issues arose re open and honest reporting I don't think we're particularly good at that because often students will get to the end of their PhD and it's always been known there is a problem (but it hasn't been written down) (Capital Uni) Training provided for supervisors Every truck has a document that shows the requirements of supervision (Cable Co)
Pastoral care This was considered important in all cases The companies had field officers The unis differed: Capital Uni expected that supervisors would take some role; Regional Uni considered students should access normal support services available to all uni students
Expectations Similar among the types of organisations eg responsibility of organisation to provide support Emphasis on quality differed: companies emphasised their own responsibility to 'produce good quality tradesmen' (sic) while unis emphasised 'excellent research' as the responsibility of the student All organisations emphasised expectation of student to follow correct prodcuedres (safety, punctuality, ethcis)
Quality systems: example from each Cable Co: Roster system to ensure broad experience Electro GTO: Service agreements between the GTO and the host employers Capital Uni: Coursework for all PhD students (optional but 85% take-up). Exit point available after this. Regional Uni: More rigorous approach to selection, with alternative entry paths for those rejected.
Similarities Major problem for quality and for proper care is distributed responsibility The obligation (is) for everyone, from the supervisor and local staff right up to the Vice-Chancellor … it's very hard to get into what's happening with the supervisor and we're trying to improve that at the moment (Capital Uni)
Transferable tips Exit point as at Capital Uni (=Certificate II?) More rigorous selection needed at unis as per apprentices Over-award payment for mature students Need for an overseeing person – DDOG or apprentice master (Regional Uni has recently abolished the position) Limitations: Project is small-scale and conclusions can only be tentative; electrical industry is considered high status compared with others; the interviews from the three projects don't quite align; there are differences between the two groups. Further analysis may reveal more 'tips': need for more research, too.

One of Dickens's most fascinating and disturbing novels, Great Expectations is still regarded as a cracking tale, as was recently confirmed by its position among the top 25 books in the BBC's Big Read. It's easy to see how ripe it must have seemed for adaptation by the late James Maxwell of the Royal Exchange Theatre, where this stage version was first produced 20 years ago. Great Expectations was just one of a series of "page to stage" transformations that Maxwell created for the Royal Exchange's in-the-round space, the most successful being Pride and Prejudice, the most elaborate The Count of Monte Cristo and the most clunky Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone. As with most of those books, it must have been challenging to reduce Great Expectations to manageable stage proportions with so much mystery to unfold, so many character threads to weave and so many moral dimensions to explore.
Certainly, in the first half of the Royal Exchange's new production by Jacob Murray, more of the tale's corners and complexities could safely be pared down at no cost to the narrative. The opening is unnecessarily confusing, with flashing lighting effects, crashing thunderclaps and the immediate introduction of masked characters guaranteed to make your heart sink. (The dancing scenes, which come later, have the same effect.) But after having slowly yet surely set up the snapshots of Pip's bemusing and often bruising childhood experiences, Murray's production slips more compellingly through his painful early adulthood and his journey of self-discovery. Pieces start to fall into place as seamlessly as the setting, moving us swiftly back and forth between the dank Kent marshes, Miss Havisham's gloomy Satis House and bleak Victorian London.
That we are drawn into the narrative with Pip - the work's hero and victim - says much for Oliver Dimsdale's ability to impose his character's dreaminess, aspirations and bewilderment on to his encounters with one of Dickens's most surreal and vividly depicted line-ups of creatures. On stage for most of the evening, Dimsdale not only makes an admirable stab at ageing 30 years but is so adept at expressing his almost constant discomfort and raw emotions that we begin to share an overwhelming awareness of his uncertain status, his illusions and his tormented nature.
He is greatly helped by the support he receives from fellow cast members, including Una Stubbs as a bizarre, feathery Miss Havisham, locked up in her cold, cobwebby past. Charlotte Emmerson is Estella, and Malcolm Rennie plays the lawyer Jaggers with a wickedly comic interpretation. Jonathan Hackett is the grizzled Magwitch, although in the short context of an adaptation, his sudden reappearance as an amiable, reformed character is much too good to be true. Elsewhere, John Elmes gives a sturdy performance as the big-hearted Joe, struggling to express his goodness in small words and big actions. Attracting a round of applause for his nimble feet and useless fists, Jamie de Courcey is a sympathetic Pocket, while Jonathan Keeble is an eccentric, spidery Wemmick.
Not one but several worlds are created on the stage with deft changes - not so much a set as mere objects - complementing the fragmented nature of the adaptation. Bare though the space is, the production is not without atmosphere, dominated by brooding lighting (effective in the stormy ship scene) and a dark, creepy soundscape created by Tayo Akinbode and Steve Brown. It evokes the unfathomable marshes, the surreal world of Satis House and the "mind music" of Pip's great expectations.

Xi Continuum Combat through Emotes?[ Edited ]
So after playing the combat missions in Xi Continuum, I've found myself just using the same agents with the best stats every time, with little reason to use the others or buy the extras. Which got me thinking about what if we could have our own avatars battle against enemy agents, through the use of our emotes and locomotions?
Like for example: you are exploring the Continuum and have a Final Fantasy-esque random encounter and enter battle mode. There wouldn't have to be a screen transition, but maybe enemies just appear on the screen. To defeat them you would scroll through your Combat emotes using R1, and have a selection of different fighting stances (for different types of opponents) and different attack animations to choose from. If you wanted to use other types of combat skills or weapons you could purchase them, but the best part is you could use the various emotes anywhere in Home.
Granted, I'm sure most would not like the idea of random encounters or RPG-style fighting being a major part of their Xi experience. Heck, I probably wouldn't either. So what if this idea was used for another space or type of game some time in the future? Would you be interested or couldn't care less?

Sounds like somebody got a little stuck on SFXT after being able to fight as his (?) own avatar... Yeah, that'd be cool, but then they'd use the locos as a reason to jack the price to $12, after raising it from what they'd previously quoted... *waits for Joey to appear*
I don't know about that. In their survey one of the questions was whether or not people would be willing to spend less money on the game if it meant missing out on extras like the apartment and companion. So it sounds to me that they're thinking to make different entrance fees depending on what content people would like to have, which is probably a good idea. I'm actually surprised by the amount of people I've seen in Xi Continuum, despite all the flak nDreams got about making it pay to play.

Hmmm... a rock/paper/scissors type thing..?
I'm not sure where you got the idea of janken from my OP, but basically imagine some kind of new RPG-type game space where you fight enemies. It could be monsters, robots, people, whatever. What you would be fighting them with is your emotes, through the R1 menu. Let's say you press R1, and see a sub-set of emotes labeled "Combat". You open it and have different emotes like...
Defensive Stance
Sword Stance
Dual Wield Stance
Combo 1
Combo 2
Depending on which stance you use, you'll take a certain amount of damage from enemies and it will determine how much damage your attacks inflict on them. Different enemies would require different attacks and stances used against them. Now let's say they sell different armor and weapons that grant you bonuses in defense, attack, and magic. Perhaps they give you access to other combat emotes. Maybe you could even bring out a companion and use it like a summoning creature to aid you. Overall, I think this kind of idea would save developers the trouble of having to design a more complex battle system like what Mercia uses, possibly making things such as lag and hit detection less of an issue (or so I think anyway). I'm just wondering if anyone here would like a game using this idea. A game where all the action is powered by your avatar's emotes.

Re: Xi Continuum Combat through Emotes?
Thanks for the responses guys! I've always been under the impression the suggestion threads are only intended for virtual items though, which wouldn't really fit my idea, unless I'm wrong? At any rate I'm hoping to continue this discussion, so does anyone else have anything they would like to add?

Category Archives: Criminal Justice System
The paralysis of too many priorities.
Sat immediately behind the new Secretary of State at the Justice Select Committee (@CommonsJustice) on 07 September, I registered a lot of awkwardness that was beyond mere nervousness felt by many a new joiner.
Just like Gove's debut in front of the same Committee where he rattled on about "we're reviewing it" (yes, I was there for that one too), Liz Truss (@trussliz) talked largely about the formulating of "plans" but on the day said nothing about tangible actions she will take.
How many more reviews do we need?
Has Truss inherited a poisoned chalice passed from one SoS to the next? Her department has a huge accumulated mess to sort out and doesn't know what to do about it. Is she wondering what to tackle first? The paralysis of too many priorities?
Her critics say she's doing things wrong. Look at it for yourself and you'll see some of the priorities she is confronted with:
- Extremism and radicalisation in prison
- Violence against other offenders and against prison staff
- Over population
- Under staffing of prisons
- Death in custody
- Drugs and drones
- Education and purposeful activity
- Resettlement and homelessness on release
You would think her advisors would know what the order of priorities are. They don't, or if they do, they obviously prefer the relative safety of "talking shop" over the tough task of taking concrete action on these priorities.
The key question people are asking is has she actually got the shoulders for the job; she has the high office and gilded robe of the Lord Chancellor but does she have the support of those working within the criminal justice system?
Soon after her appointment from Defra to Ministry of Justice, Liz Truss paid token visits to two prisons but cannot be expected to become an instant expert on the prison system.
What other mess does the SoS need to deal with?
The system of prison monitoring is in a mess. The IMB Secretariat is in utter disarray. They say they have policies and procedures but don't always follow them themselves. For the most part, IMBs are doing their own thing. There's no real accountability anymore. It's a disgrace and it's deplorable that it's been allowed to get as bad as it has.
For my critique of prison reform and Independent Monitor Boards, I've been put through two MOJ investigations. Each one takes away a little piece of me. But for me it's always been about the issues. That's why they can't and won't shut me up.
The message of prison reform has become urgent and has to get to the top. If no one else will step up and if it falls to me to take it then so be it.
No accountability anymore? Give me an example.
You want an example? Here's one of many: At HMP Garth, the IMB Chair issued a Notice To Prisoners 048/2016 dated May 2016 without the authority to do so, and apparently without the Board agreeing it. The Chair acted unilaterally outside of governance. I found out about it because a copy of that prison notice was sent to me as it happened to be about the article "Whistle Blower Without a Whistle" that I'd written for The Prison Handbook 2016 that the IMB Garth Chair was pin-pointing, (accusing me of a "rant" whilst both his prison notice and covering letter were dripping with distain).
I'm still standing by all I said in my Whistleblower article even though writing it has been at a high personal cost. In all candour, any pride I may have had in writing it has been completely sucked away from me. It's back to the bare metal. The inconvenient truth of what I wrote remains. Readers will find that my main themes also feature prominently in the findings of the report by Karen Page Associates, commissioned by the MOJ at a cost to the taxpayer of £18,500.
An invite I received from Brian Guthrie to the forthcoming AGM of Association of Members of IMB says it all. It read:
"From the Chair Christopher Padfield
AMIMB – the immediate future
IMB needs a voice. We believe that without AMIMB this voice will not be heard. AMIMB intends to raise its voice, but needs the support of our members.
An outline plan for the immediate future of AMIMB will be put up for discussion at the forthcoming AGM (11 October 2016 at 2 Temple Place). It aims to respond both to the main needs and opportunities, and to the practicalities of the current situation.
The greatest need, as the executive committee of the AMIMB sees it, is to achieve a public voice for Independent Monitoring Boards – to let the British public know what we, as monitors, think about prison and immigration detention policy and practice in England and Wales and the impact this has on the men, women and children detained; to achieve some public recognition for the role of IMBs; in short to speak out about what we hear and see. We have urged the National Council to do this itself, but to no avail. In character, the NC propose as their contribution to the Parliamentary Justice Select Committee's current consultation on Prison Reform, a response to a procedural question: 'are existing mechanisms for … independent scrutiny of prisons fit for purpose?' If the NC cannot or will not speak out, AMIMB should."
Mr Padfield has served as IMB Chairman at HMP Bedford but to my knowledge has never been suspended pending investigation by the Prisons Minister like I was for speaking out on such things.
And therein lays the dilemma: whereas the official line is to encourage monitors to speak out, the reprisals levelled at you when you actually do are still shocking.
Is this what happens to women who use their voice?
People want you to get back in the box.
To shut up.
To go away.
The IMB doesn't need a makeover; that would only hide most of the systemic problems behind filler and veneer. So rebranding clearly isn't going to be the answer any more than putting lipstick on a pig.
People who think I want to abolish the IMB have totally misjudged me and the situation. I don't want to abolish it. Far from it. I want the IMB to perform like it was set up to under OPCAT and to be all it should be as part of our NPM.
The clue is in the name: Independent. Monitoring. Board.
Have you noticed that the MOJ is haemorrhaging people at the moment?
Maybe Liz Truss could use that as an opportunity to enlist the help of those who do give a damn about the conditions in which people are held in custody and who do have a clue about strategies to stem radicalisation in prison, minimise violence, reduce prison over population, have the right staff and staffing levels, reduce death in custody, counter drones and drug misuse, revitalise education and purposeful activity, and last but not least, resettle and house people after their time in custody.

We don't just need a vision, we need a cause!
In the space of 6 weeks I have written an article which has been published in The Prisons Handbook 2016, just before the Prime Ministers speech. I have been interviewed by Ian Dunt with an article put on politics.co.uk, been in my local paper with a 2 page spread, had a front page article in Converse prison newspaper, had an interview with another newspaper with an article ready for the next months edition… If I can achieve all this in just 6 weeks, just imagine what could be achieved in 6 months or a year?. It's all about going at pace.
It's not always about what you have achieved in the past, although it does help. But it's about what you can/will/want to do in the future.
Can't abide being held back because of what I haven't done yet. Especially when I'm at the start of something significant and have plenty of passion, energy and drive for what is to come.
And despite the knock backs, to keep a sense of humour.
Yes I have mainly worked with vulnerable adults and children before, but we all have a vulnerable side to us. Some are able to reveal it, others not, some it leads to being a victim and others it leads them into criminal activity.
Have you noticed how quick some people are to judge others, put you into boxes and to categorise? I hope you won't judge my life by the chapter you just walked in on.
Prisons are no different.
Many problems arise when people enter the prison system and then leave in a worse state than when they arrived.
Why after all the money pumped into prisons is this happening?
Profits are made out of prisoners, we all know that.
How many reviews, reports can you count over the last say 10 years that involve prisoners?
There have been countless
How many organisations do you know that work hard to bring reform to prisons and prisoners?
There are countless
How much money has been spent on prison reform?
On 8th February, the Prime Minister set out a vision for prison reform. Mr Cameron said:
This system will be hard to change because it is, in some ways, still stuck in the dark ages – with old buildings, old thinking and old ways of doing things.
So I don't want to go slow here – I want us to get on with proper, full-on prison reform.
Today, 27th May the Public Accounts Committee report warns that the criminal justice system is close to breaking point:
Report summary
- The criminal justice system is close to breaking point.
- Lack of shared accountability and resource pressures mean that costs are being shunted from one part of the system to another and the system suffers from too many delays and inefficiencies.
- There is insufficient focus on victims, who face a postcode lottery in their access to justice due to the significant variations in performance in different areas of the country.
Criminal justice system "already overstretched"
- The system is already overstretched and we consider that the Ministry of Justice has exhausted the scope to make more cuts without further detriment to performance.
- The Government is implementing reforms to improve the system but we are concerned that users of the system won't see the full benefit for another four years.
- There are opportunities for the Ministry to make improvements before then, including better sharing of good practice and making sure that everyone is getting things right first time.
But what is the answer?
(If I had the answer I would be a very rich woman!)
Over the last few years I have visited every category of prison, YOI and Women's. I have sat behind the Right hon. Michael Gove MP whilst he has been in front of the Justice Select Committee twice. I have attended meeting after meeting in Westminster, attended conferences, training courses, lectures, seminars etc. at my own cost.
I want to learn, I want to understand but most of all I want answers to the questions I have posed.
I also want to be a part of the change that is so desperately needed in our prisons.
We don't just need a vision, we need a cause!
Vision is often personal, but a cause is bigger than any one individual
People don't generally die for a vision, but they will die for a cause
Vision is something you possess, a cause possess you
Vision doesn't eliminate the options; a cause leaves you without any options
A good vision may out live you, but a cause is eternal
Vision will generate excitement, but a cause generates power

Justice Select Committee part 3
I seem to be making a habit of this; on Wednesday 16th March I attended the Justice Select Committee for the third time, again listening to the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP being questioned by a team of MP's.
I sat behind Mr Gove and watched as he interacted with the committee. The meeting can be accessed from this link: http://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/e67772ca-8c75-4112-853a-0fbd80688389
The first question he was asked was "How would you encapsulate the overall purpose of the thrust of the Government's prison policy"? Michael Gove replied "In a sentence, it is about turning prisoners from liabilities into assets". Interesting use of language I thought.
He continued by stating that…"the critical thing is to make sure that during their time in prison there is purposeful activity…" I have come across some excellent forms of purposeful activity but to be honest there just isn't enough going on. Is it all down to money? If millions can be found to build new prisons then surely purposeful activity has to be included.
The stories coming out of many of the prisons in England and Wales are appalling, locked up at least 22 hours a day, rat infested are but a few I have read this week.
When will we see real progress?
The most successful custodial establishment according to Nick Hardwick former chief inspector of prisons was the Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC) in Colchester. However, in October 2015 there were 35 being held at the MCTC, hardly an example to compare. The ratio of staff to detainees is far higher than within the prison estate which is surely a factor along with greater governor autonomy that contributes to its success. I have visited it and was impressed by the order, cleanliness and regime. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/484448/Detainees_Military_Corrective_Training_Centre_Colchester.pdf
But how do you really measure success?
Michael Gove gave an example of Bronzefield prison as being a very successful female prison, yet this week one of the main stories I have read is about staff giving out sleeping bags to women released with no accommodation. It doesn't add up!
I want to read more success stories, see real progress and watch as these "liabilities are turned into assets"
Volunteering in the Justice Sector
Today I read volunteering is good for your health as you tend to visit the doctor less!
This may be the case and I should know, I have worked as a volunteer for over 20 years and in the Justice sector for over 3 years
A big misconception is that a volunteer just makes tea!
After going to University as a mature student I received a BSc (Hons) in Criminology in Nov 2011. I then spent a year working with my local CAB and completed the course to become a Gateway Assessor as I was told you need to have voluntary work on your CV especially if you have changed direction. This was a real eye opener to the needs of people. After answering an advert in the paper to join the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP/YOI Hollesley Bay in 2013, I started on a very interesting journey. I am now the Chairman.
Apart from the IMB, I have been a group leader for Prison Fellowship England and Wales since 2012 involving managing a small team, all volunteers that deliver the Sycamore Tree victim awareness course in prisons. Meeting monthly and also speaking at various clubs, groups and churches on Restorative Justice and the work I do in prison. I have also been on the Steering Group for the Reclaim Justice Network for over 3 years, attending meetings, AGM's and supporting events when I am able.
In addition I am a member of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies (CCJS) and the Howard League. I have been invited to visit many prisons and events in the Justice sector and have been an observer at the Justice Select Committee. I have lost count of the number of conferences, lectures, wine receptions and exhibitions I have attended as I try and keep informed. I write a blog and am known on twitter!
I am passionate about wanting change within the prisons, purposeful activity and education are but a few of changes needed. I try to encourage those in prison and those that have been released.
But all of this is as a volunteer.
I have applied for many jobs since graduating but there have been two main problems. The first being the idea that volunteers make the tea and don't have real input and so can be a bit clueless. The second being I cannot find a more interesting and at times rewarding line of work. I'm not someone to sit in front of a computer on a daily basis. My work is varied and I enjoy the interaction with prisoners, Governors, staff, my team and my many contacts. I like to be organised and punctual. I like tea, but don't sit around drinking it all day.
Volunteering is rewarding, I recommend it as it's an essential part of society but I'm ready for a change…!
Suffragette extraordinaire: Constance Lytton: Living for a Cause
This is an article that I wrote last year with my good friend David Scott concerning a suffragette extraordinaire!

[Adapted from Houston (2001)]
In Prisons and Prisoners: Some personal experiences by Constance Lytton and Jane Warton, published 100 years ago this month in March 1914, Lady Constance Georgina Bulwer-Lytton presented one of the most significant challenges to 20th Century anti-suffrage politics. In so doing she put herself forward as a "champion of women" (Lytton, 1914) in the hope that one day women would attain political equality with men.[1]Prisons and Prisoners is a comprehensive and at times a harrowing personal account of her four prison sentences as a militant suffragette. The book is a compelling insight into the mind of a young woman consumed by a cause which would prove to be instrumental in prison reform and votes for women,as well as tragically being a contributory factor to her death.
Desperate to find some way of empathising with the other suffragettes, Constance Lytton had a desire to stand beside those who were fighting. She was with them not as a 'spare part' but as a comrade. Most famously, to avoid receiving special treatment and privileges as a result of her family connections, she took on the guise of 'Jane Warton' and in so doing personally experienced the horrors of prison, including force-feeding. Although her health suffered, her story is one which shows courage, determination and an undeniable dedication to equality and justice (Lytton, 1914).
Concentrating attention on political injustice and votes for women, Constance Lytton brought notice toclass and gender disparities in punishment and the struggles for the rights of women, always maintaining that the suffragette's militant actions were political rather than criminal. This all from a woman that described herself as having an exaggerated dislike of society and of publicity in any form and yet remarkably was at the same time a militant suffragette who took part indeputations to Parliament and prolonged periods of penal incarceration (Lytton, 1914; Haslam, 2008).
Lady Constance Lytton is not the only woman from a privileged background who has written about her prison experiences. The famous Irish rebel, Countess Constance Georgine Markievicz (1927/1973), most well known for her participation in the 1916 Easter rising, wrote extensively about her time in prison. Indeed, her prison letters were published to huge acclaim and are still considered today to be of great political significance. In more recent times – October 2013 – Vicky Pryce, former joint head of the UK's government economic service,published her account of her three and a half days incarcerated in HMP Holloway (12th-15th March 2013)and eight weeks inHMP East Sutton Park Open Prison (15th March – 12th May 2013).[2] Her book, Prisonomics, which ultimately seeks to predicate penal change on an economic rationale rather than on humanitarian concerns, has not been so well received. The reaction is partly because it cannot be considered as representative of the lived realities of most women in prison,[3]partly because of the privileged status she was accorded insideprison and thevast economic resources at her disposal,[4]and partly because of the support she was given in writing the book and her failure to identify closely with the painful realities of other prisoners.[5]Yet perhaps the most damning indictment comes when the book is compared to the prison writings of people like Countess Constance Markievicz or Lady Constance Lytton,for then it becomes evident just what is missing from Prisonomics.
Lytton's experiences of imprisonment
After being arrested for being part of a deputation marching to Downing Street on 24th February 1909, Constance Lytton was sentenced to four weeks' imprisonment in HMP Holloway. In Prisons and Prisoners,she provides extraordinarily rich descriptions of prisonconditions, daily routine, fellow prisoners and prison wardresses in Holloway prison at that time. Although initially held in the hospital wing because of her poor health, following acts of resistance which in effect amounted to self-harm,she was allowed to join other prisoners on 'the other side' in the main wings (Lytton, 1914). She had a brilliant eye for detail and provides a number of clear and vivid accounts of sometimes overlooked aspects of prison life. For example, she describes how her prison clothes, with broad arrows stamped over them, were often ill-fitting, stained, unironed and looking unwashed even after they had been to the laundry. Further, the poor design and cut of her prison shirt was not just uncomfortable but so bad it "looked like the production of a maniac" whilst her prison shoes were too small and painful to walk in (Lytton, 1914). The prison cells were small, bitterly cold and poorly ventilated, making it hard for prisoners to breathe, never mind stay warm. Beds were uncomfortable whilst pillows were "stuffed with thunder", making sleep and rest difficult under the best of circumstances and, when compounded by noise, impossible (Lytton, 1914).
In Prisons and PrisonersConstance Lytton draws the reader's attention to the lack of privacy, including the ironies of being in so many ways alone in prison yet at the same time not having the opportunity to retreat to a private space of one's own. She recounts the monotony of prison daily routine where days collapse into each other and the general dragging of time engendering feelings of wastefulness. She complains about the rigid enforcement of petty rules and the judgemental opinions of wardresses which make prisoners feel like they belong to "a race apart" (Lytton, 1914). Insightfully, Constance Lytton also recognised the difficulties wardresses had in understanding how the pains of imprisonment shape prisoners' experiences, for such things the prison official can only "witnesswithout sharing them"(Ibid). She rightly concludes that this results in a general failure on the part of prison officials to correctly read the feelings, meanings and actions of those they detain.
Constance Lytton acknowledged that her prison experience was mitigated somewhat by who she was. Despite the poor conditions she encountered, some improvements had been made on her arrival, including the supply of knives and forks which had not been available to prisoners in Holloway before her time there.As perhaps only an aristocrat would, she yearned for an authentic prison experience, and noted how other women prisoners seemed dejected, lifeless, listless, detached from each other and haunted by their own suffering, anxiety and bitterness (Lytton, 1914). On a number of occasions in her reflections on her time in Holloway prison,she uses her pen to poetically describe the abnormality, pain, sadness and venomous nature of penal incarceration, leaving the reader in no doubt of her repugnance of the penal machinery and its inevitably destructive results.
The prison from here looks like a great hive of human creeping things impelled to their joyless labours and unwilling seclusion by some hidden force, the very reversal of the natural, and which has in it no element of organic life, cohesion, or self-sufficing reason. A hive of hideous purposes from which flows back day by day into the surrounding stream of evil honey, blackened in the making and poisonous in result. The high central tower seemed to me a jam pot, indicative of the foul preserve that seethed within this factory for potting human souls (Lytton, 1914).
Despite all the bleakness of the prison experience, Constance Lytton emphasised above all else those moments when humanity and the human spirit were able to overcome the brutal indifference characterising daily prison routines. She writes about the kindness and compassion of other women prisoners (especially other suffragettes) and the brief glimpses of humanity that she saw hiding behind the "masks" worn by wardresses when performing their duties (Lytton, 1914). Indeed, for her such "rare occasions of gladness outweigh from their importance the much more numerous experiences of gloom, anxiety, anger and physical suffering" (Ibid). Yet she never became blinded by these brief moments of "gladness", keeping her sights firmly upon carefully describing the "nightmare of horror" of HMP Holloway and a dehumanising system which trapped both prisoners and wardresses (Ibid).
Shortly after her release from Holloway prison, Constance Lytton was arrested and sentenced to imprisonment for a second time, on this occasion on Saturday 9th October, 1909 for throwing a stone at the car of Sir Walter Runciman in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Once imprisoned, she immediately went on hunger strike at HMP Newcastle. Although refusing medical examination, her health condition was still officiously checked and, afterabstaining to eat foodfor three of the days into her one month sentence (Monday 11th – Wednesday 13th October, 1909), she was released. Her release was ordered – according to Home Secretary Herbert Gladstone –because of concerns regarding her heart condition. Unlike working class women suffragettes on hunger strike in prisons, the aristocrat Constance Lytton had not been force-fed. The belief that her class background had shaped her treatment in prison led to a fundamental change in hertactics.
'Jane Warton, Spinster' and Walton Prison
The writings of Lady Constance Lytton on Holloway and Newcastle prisons are undoubtedly worthy of commemoration in their own right, but what she did next was truly remarkable, making Prisons and Prisoners one of the most unique prisoner autobiographies ever written. After hearing about the force feeding of a working class suffragette of her acquaintance, Miss Selina Martin, and another named Miss Leslie Hall, while on remand at Walton Prison in Liverpool, Constance Lytton hatched a plan that would entail,if necessary, "sharing the fate of these women" (Lytton, 1914). Her intention was to transcend her class background in an attempt to understand the lived experiences of working class women prisoners.In so doing, she hoped to express political solidarity with the suffering of less fortunate others and to use her own frail body as the central way of achieving this.
Whilst visiting Manchester in early January 1910, she disguised herself with a most ridiculous hair-cut, cheap glasses and even cheaper clothes and then rejoined the WSPU[Women's Social and Political Union] as 'Jane Warton, Spinster' (Lytton, 1914). She had chosen her new name carefully:the first name was taken from Jeanne of Arc (Jeanne is translated as either Joan or Jane)whilst the surname was derived from her relatives the 'Warburtons' but shortened to 'Warton' to appear more ordinary.She hoped the real meaning of her name 'Jane Warton' would give her strength in what she anticipated would be difficult times ahead (Ibid).
'Jane Warton' was subsequently arrested on Friday 14th January 1910 after participating in a protest march about the force feeding of working class women suffragetteslike Selina Martin in Walton prison. 'Jane Warton' started her hunger strike in the police cells that Friday evening, a couple of days before she was to begin her sentence at Walton Prison. Just as she had done so under her real name, when in prison 'Jane Warton' refused medical examinations. There was, however, to be no further investigation into the health of working class suffragette 'Jane Warton' and 89 hours into her hunger strike, force-feeding began. Between Tuesday 18th and Saturday 22nd January 1910, 'Jane Warton' was to have liquidised food poured into a tube forced into her stomach through her mouth on eight separate occasions.
At 6.00pm, Tuesday 18th January1910 her first force feeding started. The medical officer and five wardresses entered her cell with the "feeding apparatus" (Lytton, 1914). There was no attempt to medically examine 'Jane Warton' and the half-hearted made attempts by the medical officer to induce her to eat unsurprisingly failed.
I offered no resistance to being placed in position, but lay down voluntarily on the plank bed. Two of the wardresses took hold of my arms, one held my head and one my feet. One wardress helped to pour the food. The doctor leant on my knees as he stooped over my chest to get at my mouth. I shut my mouth and clenched my teeth… The sense of being overpowered by more force than I could possibly resist was complete, but I resisted nothing except with my mouth… He seemed annoyed at my resistance and he broke into a temper as he plied my teeth with the steel implement… He said if I resisted so much with my teeth, he would feed me through the nose.The pain of it was intense and at last I must have give way for he got the gag between my teeth, when he proceeded to turn it much more than necessary until my jaws were fastened wide apart, far more than they could go naturally. Then he put down my throat a tube which seemed to me much too wide and was something like four feet in length.The irritation of the tube was excessive. I choked the moment it touched my throat until it had gone down. Then the food was poured in quickly; it made me sick a few seconds after it was down and the action of the sickness made my body and legs double up, but the wardresses instantly pressed back by back and the doctor leant on my knees. The horror of it was more than I can describe. I was sick over the doctor and wardresses and it seemed a long time before they took the tube out (Lytton, 1914).
When the force-feeding was over the doctor slapped 'Jane Warton' on the cheek and left her cell (Ibid).
I could not move, and remained there in what, under different conditions, would have been an intolerable mess. I had been sick over my hair, which, though short, hung on either side of my face, all over the wall near my bed, and my clothes seemed saturated with it, but the wardresses told me they could not get me a change that night as it was too late, the office was shut. I lay quite motionless, it seemed paradise to be without the suffocating tube, without the liquid food going in and out of my body and without the gag in my teeth… Before long I heard the sounds of forced feeding in the cell next to mine. It was almost more than I could bare (Ibid).
'Jane Warton' continued to vomit following being force-fed on further occasions (Ibid). Her physical frailty was noted by the medical officer but remarkably when her heart was checked by a junior doctor,he exclaimed "Oh ripping, splendid heart! You can go on with her" (Ibid). From her fourth to eighth feedings the doctor and wardresses were more gentle, for they had realised that 'Jane Warton' was someone else in disguise, even though they remained unsure of her true identity. Her physical and emotional strength was virtually broken and at her feeding on Friday 21st she was "convulsed with sobs" (Ibid). Following outside intervention from her family,she was released from HMP Walton on the morning of Sunday 23rd January 1910.
Writing, reception and legacy of 'Prisons and Prisoners'
When Constance Lytton ('Jane Warton') was finally released from Walton prison on 23rd January,a major political scandal followed immediately. The then Home Secretary, Herbert Gladstone, claimed that 'Lady Constance Lytton' had been released from Newcastle prison when she went on hunger strike because she had heart disease, yet in her guise as 'Jane Warton' had been subjected to force feeding and was released due to "loss of weight and general physical weakness"(Lytton, 1914; Haslam, 2008). Before Constance Lytton, some 35 other women suffragettes had been force-fed whilst on hunger strike, but none of these suffragettes were members of the ruling elite and their sufferings during force feedings had largely been ignored. Lady Constance Lytton's treatment as 'Jane Warton' by contrast was a major political embarrassment, although the extent of the fall-out from her revelations and the concerted petitioning of her brother and sisters remain unclear. Although Herbert Gladstone ended his tenure as Home Secretary shortly after the release of 'Jane Warton', it is debatable whether the two events were linked.[6]The personal consequences for Constance Lytton of her 'force feeding', sadly, are undoubted. Following herrelease, she was confined to her bed for six weeks because her heart was so weak, and in the autumn of 1910 a heart seizure temporarily paralysed her. Her health never fully recovered and although the initial paralysis eased,two more years of suffering from heart seizures followed (Lytton, 1914).
Remarkably, Constance Lytton somehow found the passion and energy to continue as by this time she had personal insight complete with understanding, but most of all a strategy, and yet again she was arrested and sent to Holloway between 21st – 28th November 1911. Although the sentence was for a month, members of her family paid the requisite sum for her release and so she served one week only. Tragedy was to strike her on 5th May 1912, when Constance Lytton suffered a stroke. In Prisons and Prisoners she wrote:
… had a stroke and my right arm was paralysed; also, slightly my right foot and leg. I was taken from my flat to my sister's house … from that day I have been incapacitated from working for the Women's Social and Political Union, but I am with them still with my whole soul (Lytton, 1914).
This remarkable and courageous woman wrote her book Prisons and Prisoners with her left hand as a result of the paralysis. She spent the final years of her life (1912-1923) an invalid at Knebworth, cared for by her mother and hired nurses, one of which she closely befriended. As the Letters of Constance Lytton, selected and arranged by Betty Balfour (Lytton, 1925) published posthumously in 1925 indicate, Constance Lytton was a prolific letter writer prior to her stroke in 1912, but following this was able to write only very few personal letters, showing us just how much of a struggle it must have been to write Prisons and Prisoners with her left hand. Christabel Pankhurst on 20th March 1914 wrote "Prisons and Prisoners is in itself a triumph of will – a great conquest of the spirit over bodily infirmity". Indeed it was.
The story of Constance Lytton as detailed by her own hand, and that of others, caught the imagination of both her peers and fellow suffragettes. Her story was first to come out in a fictionalised form, as a thinly disguised character in the classic Gertrude Colmore (1911) novel Suffragette Sally.[7] Her struggle also had a far reaching effect on legislation. This can be illustrated by the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge of Ill Health) Act, which became known as the Cat and Mouse Act. It was rushed through parliament in 1913 to allow the discharge of hunger-striking suffragettes from prisons as a response to growing public disquiet about the use of forcible feeding. This Act allowed for the early release of prisoners who were so weakened by hunger striking that they were at risk of death. However, they were to be recalled to prison once their health was recovered, where the process would begin again.Though hardly a victory, political pressure continued to mount and finally,in Constance Lytton's lifetime, propertied women aged over 30 got the vote1918.[8]
As a consequence of her actions 'for this cause' (Houston, 2001), Constance Lytton had many that were grateful for the sacrifice she gave. Below are some of the many testimonies:
The Outlook (28th January 1910) "Whenever the annals of the human race are preserved, this deed of hers will be treasured up as a priceless possession"
Emmeline Pethick Lawrence (28th January 1910)
"[her act] will be written in letters of gold upon the tables of human history"
MrsCoombe Tennant, (visiting justice, 1925, cited in Balfour, 1925)
"prisons today are different from what they would have been had she not gone down into hell."
Constance Lytton died at the age of 54. At her funeral Emmeline Pethick Lawrence placed a palm leaf on the casket, with the statement:
Dearest Comrade – You live always in the hearts of those who love you and live forever in the future race which inherits the new freedom you gave your life to win (cited in Miles and Williams, 1999).
Critical appraisal
When looking back at Prisons and Prisoners 100 years on, it is clear that the book is not only an important historical artefact in terms of publicisingthe struggle for women's equality but also as aremarkable testimony of one women's experience of imprisonment. Prisons and Prisoners provides insights neglected by some penological narratives of that time and directly contradicts official reports and documents–most famously those of then Home Secretary, Herbert Gladstone (see Haslam, 2008). Undoubtedly, Prisons and Prisoners continues to humanise prison studies and to enrich understandings of prison life, both past and present.
It also provides an antidote for those drawn to the publicity-craving celebrity autobiographies of the political elite imprisoned for their own corruption. When contrasting Constance Lytton's Prisons and Prisoners with the more recent Prisonomics by Vicky Pryce (2013)it seems the two books provide almost a mirror image of each other. Prisons and Prisoners is a personally courageous attempt to uncover the terrible truth regarding the experiences of both ordinary prisoners and suffragettes. Rooted in radical and emancipatory politics, it questions imprisonment because it is a dehumanising environment creating unnecessary human suffering. In comparison Prisonomics central focus is upon the economic, rather than human, costs of penal incarceration. But what distinguishes the two books more than anything else is the political commitments of the authors to their given cause. Whereas a strong political commitment is evident in nearly every act undertaken by Constance Lytton as described in her autobiography it is noticeable in the main through its absence in the writings of Vicky Pryce. As such it is difficult to imagine commemorating the publication of Prisonomics in the next century.
Nonetheless Prisons and Prisoners, and what it attempted to achieve, isalso not without difficulties. Despite her best efforts, it was always an impossible ambition for Constance Lytton to entirely transcend class boundaries and gain an experience that could reflect the lived realities of ordinary women prisoners. Even as 'Jane Warton' she could never experience the restricted choices and power-differentials shaping pre- and post -incarceration for working class women offenders. Her understanding of working class women in prison was always informed by a pastoral and maternal ideology rather than by an ideology of political emancipation and resulted in a tone which in the main sought to foster sympathy for prisoners through their 'victimhood' rather than actualising change motivated by an understanding of prisoners as free-willed autonomous agents. Consequently, whereas suffragette women prisoners (Constance Lytton included) are presented as engaging in acts of resistance, working class criminal women prisoners are constructed as passive and unable to fight back against penal oppression (Lytton, 1914).
Furthermore, Constance Lytton made little progress in providing a platform from which the actual voices of either working class women suffragettes or 'ordinary' prisoners could be heard, although her stroke and subsequent paralysis in 1912 may have made such endeavours physically impossible. Nevertheless, in Prisons and Prisoners and in the wider writings of Constance Lytton (Lytton, 1909, 1910a, 1910b), we only ever hear her privileged voiceand significant though this is, it can only provide us with a partial narrative of that historical moment. Despite these concerns, the courage, bravery and commitment of Constance Lytton to expose the brutal treatment of working class women in prison, whatever the cost to her fragile health, must be recognised for the heroism it undoubtedly was. It represents a victory of the human spirit overwhat appear to be insurmountable odds and,100 years on, is a story that can inspire those working against dehumanisation and for human equality in all of its rich and wonderful diversity.

David Scott teaches at Liverpool John Moores University. He is a former coordinator of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control and an associate editor of the Howard Journal. He is currently completing a book for Palgrave entitled The Caretakers of Punishment: Power, Legitimacy and the Prison Officer.

[3]Criticism includes the limited time she spent inside and her social background before and after prison.
[4] Undoubtedly relationships were distorted as both fellow prisoners and prison officers knew who she was and that she writing a book. She also brought more than £1490 in cash into prison. This level of economic resource can be contrasted to that of ordinary prisoners whose weekly wage is around £10-£15.
[5]Four researchers were paid to collect data for part two of the book; much of the book refers to lifeoutside the prison; and whilst she writes about 'lovely' people, things and places (i.e. pages 49, 68, 74, 79, 98)and 'kindnesses' (i.e. pages 18, 42, 84), she distances herself from acknowledgingpainful prison realities.

[8]The struggle for the vote for working class women continued until 1928, after Constance Lytton had died.

Megan Stielstra is the author of Once I Was Cool and Everyone Remain Calm, and her next collection, The Wrong Way To Save Your Life, is forthcoming in 2017 from Harper Perennial. Her work appears in the Best American Essays, Poets & Writers, Guernica, Buzzfeed, PANK, The Rumpus, and elsewhere, and she recently joined The New York Times as a contributing opinion writer. A longtime company member with 2nd Story, she tells stories for all sorts of theaters, festivals, and bars (many, many bars) including the Goodman, Steppenwolf, Neo-Futurarium, Museum of Contemporary Art, and regularly with The Paper Machete live news magazine at The Green Mill, as well as Chicago Public Radio, National Public Radio, and Radio National Australia. She teaches creative nonfiction at Northwestern University.
She is represented by Meredith Kaffel Simonoff of DeFiore and Company.
Here's a more informal bio.
Nice people have said nice things:
"Stielstra is a masterful essayist."—Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist
"Stielstra's Once I Was Cool isn't just edgy, funny, surprising, a ricochet of wow. It's practically actionable. The words reach out from the page. They direct us to look, to think, to ask."—The Chicago Tribune
"Stielstra's inimitable voice is a fiercely unique creation."—Joe Meno, Hairstyles of the Damned
"She has a profound understanding of where we all go in our minds, and the unique ability to turn it into a story that sounds like your new best friend is telling it to you."—Elizabeth Crane, We Only Know So Much
"That is Stielstra's talent: her ability to create experiences. Every narrative seemed to pick itself up off the page and turn itself into a performance before my eyes. The numerous asides, amendments, and annotations, force the reader to see and hear her work, not just read it. Ekphrasis (visual description) at its best, there is no contemporary author more vivid in description that Megan Stielstra."—The Chicagoist
"Stielstra's voice is so palpable, so immediate and vibrantly alive, it feels as though she's standing right in front of you." —Gina Frangello, A Life in Men
"Stielstra's wonderful writing and her storytelling bravery is truly a gift for everyone who reads her."—Kevin Sampsell, This Is Between Us
"Stielstra's prose reads like something your friend needs to tell you RIGHT NOW, before she even takes her coat off." —The Los Angeles Review of Books
"Stielstra evokes a blizzard of emotions in her distilled drama of postpartum depression."—Booklist
"America's next great essayist is Megan Stielstra."—Joyland
"Stielstra—collector, curator and facilitator of so many stories—also writes beautifully and kinetically. Her work possesses a rare aural quality, no doubt the result of so much time on stage, or even in front of a classroom… in Everyone Remain Calm she gleefully tests the boundaries of the short-story form."—Time Out Chicago
"Everyone Remain Calm is a daring and inventive debut. The developments that unfold in these eighteen stories are consistently imaginative and unexpected (one character has athletic rebound sex with The Incredible Hulk!)."—The Collagist
"Her theatrical performances are intense, composed of a powerful cadence of speech and strong storytelling you won't find anywhere else. Somehow she has bottled the presence of her performances and sprinkled a little bit on each story contained within Everyone Remain Calm."—CBS Chicago, Best New Chicago Books
"Stielstra has staked her career on live performance storytelling that is often emulated but never duplicated. In print and especially live, she urges the audience to come with her on adventures that can get both hysteric in pitch and absolutely still: few performers can teeter their audience between these extremes while still engaging such a personal connection. It is the story that reigns supreme, that dictates what will happen on stage. Her delivery is just one part of the show, like the musicians that back her, or the singer that swaps a story duet, or the brass band parading around her."—Chicago Literary Examiner
"A noted fiction writer whose unique, dynamic readings often include elements of live music, distancing her from the pack of her hushed, floor-gazing peers on the lit-reading circuit… Her specific brand of performance—pairing quirky Sedaris-style musings with unexpected theatrical trimmings like on-site musicians (she once used an entire New Orleans brass band)—is a text-based variation on the 'story theater' style used by many Chicago theater artists."—Time Out Chicago

Stan's NoTubes Crest 29in Wheelset
Stan's NoTubes takes the lead in the tubeless world with unmatched tubeless reliability and boundary pushing design. On any given day, you'll find wheels like the Crest 29in Wheelset railing berms at everything from a local cross country race to World Cup events. Made to run light and fast with bombproof durability with updated hubs for 2016, these wheels provide the ideal platform to fly over a cross country course. This wheelset utilizes Stan's trademark Bead Socket Technology BST, which features low profile sidewalls that provide a better seat for the tire bead and allow for a heap of benefits compared to standard rims with higher sidewalls. When setup as tubeless, BST provides an exceptional seal while allowing the tire to hold a greater volume of air than with standard rims. This interface lets the tire maintain its full shape for a wider, more stable rolling platform than if the same tire were mounted on a standard rim. pWhen paired with BST, a tubeless setup's ability to run up to 30% lower air pressure than clinchers results in exceptional tire stability, better handling, solid cornering, and better overall control. If you prefer clinchers, these rims are compatible with them, and the lower sidewall drastically reduces pinch flat risk by reducing the amount of material present for the tube to pinch against. This means less time sitting in the dust wrestling with a flat at the side of the trail and more time shredding your favorite loops. Stan's laces the Crest rims to its all new Neo hub set featuring smooth spinning, oversized chrome bearings and stiff, swaged axles. The Neo holds the bearings at a wider stance for a claimed threefold increase in strength compared to standard hub designs. It also boasts 4 precision pawls that simultaneously engage a forged steel 36t ratchet ring for snappy engagement. Stan's builds in its new SealLock end caps for easy installation and Slip Fit axle ends for easy conversion. The Stan's NoTubes Crest 29in Whee...
