The Prison Media Montoring Unit (PMMU)
The Prison Media Montoring Unit (PMMU) scrutinizes British media coverage of prison and prisoners. Its monthly bulletins highlight errors, misinformation and distortion about prison issues which, the Unit believes, may have a significant effect on government policy and public attitudes towards prison, punishment and social control. Bulletins are based upon data collected from the UK's national daily newspapers.
Bulletins are available in pdf format. For more information on our work, email paul mason at masonp@cardiff.ac.uk.
