Abstract

Imagine a prison. What does it look like? Who live inside? How are they treated? Ask these questions of children, and they will tend to give you a pretty straightforward answer based on what they have learned from adults and quite often what they have seen in movies, TV series and on the Internet: “The windows are very small and it’s dark,” “you wear a blue uniform—or orange,” “the guards are strict because you are criminal” and so on. Many learn from childhood that if a person does something very wrong the police will come and get you, and if you are a “criminal” you will go to prison.
