Book review

Abstract

Digital and technological advancements are proliferating through criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies, dramatically influencing prisoners’ access to procedural justice (see Almog and Aharonson 2004; Fowler 2013; Lederer 2017; Stone 2015). Carolyn McKay (2018: 5) contended that many jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand, Canada and European countries, are increasingly integrating videoconferencing technologies and audio-visual links (AVLs) into prison and courtroom infrastructures. In her comprehensive analysis, McKay articulated that prisoners’ perspectives have often been neglected in previous literature and that understanding their subjective experiences with criminal proceedings via AVLs is crucial for reform and change in the current policy framework (see Young 2011).
