Abstract
Using inspectorate reports this article explores the discourses about a London prison where children are inmates. The construction of the child prisoner inmates intimates their contribution to a pervasive culture of violence, bullying, opposition and poor engagement with purposive activities. While inspectorate reporting is based on the policy of ensuring a safe and rehabilitative experience for prisoners it is suggested that the discourses they harness do not engage with the fabric of these lives. The adoption of a corporate discourse, minimizes the communication of the individual harms inflicted on these children by criminal ‘justice’.
