Rather, to paraphrase Nelken (1994), we would argue that certain key themes are universalisable from such a comparative gaze, which may in turn act as an incentive to ‘sharpen the awkward questions’ about our own context. DEFINITIONS OF POLITICAL IMPRISONMENT Definitional questions concerning prisoners and former prisoners incarcerated as a result of the Northern Ireland conflict have long been highly contested. The practical and symbolic nature of the prison conditions in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain were represented as something of a microcosm of the broader ‘conflict about the conflict’ (McKeown, 2001; McEvoy, 2001; Corcoran, 21 Shirlow 01 intro 21 12/11/07 14:44:12 22 Beyond the Wire 2006).
Indeed, one of the guiding principles of managerialism may be to seek to quarantine, where possible, the power and influence of political prisoners. Neither is it necessarily a deliberately benign form of prison management. However, much of the certainty and rationality of the managerialist model requires greater deference to legality, an acceptance that the power of staff is inevitably checked by international human rights standards and an acknowledgement that such safeguards are ‘in the final analysis’ useful in preventing prison mismanagement.
The qualitative dimension to the research comprised three elements. 9 Finally, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a number of key former prisoners and representatives of former prisoner groups and also members of ‘civic society’ during 2005. All meetings and interviews were taped with the permission of participants and interviewees and subsequently were transcribed: verbatim quotations cited in this book are, of course, anonymous (with the exception of the historical account of prisoner groups in Chapter 3 where names are used with permission), and retain the original, often colloquial, language.
