This is a very interesting take and an area that needs more attention. Like we study 'urban ecology' , we need to look at the people (prisoners and officials) and the ecology. The ecology component should also bring in the WASH by considering sanitation as a 'right' for the prisoners as they are entitled to a safe sanitation facilities. The compulsory work of prisoners in many parts of the world, and the betterment or contribution to the environment also makes an interesting story that weaves into different aspects of life, livelihood, ecology and sanitation inside a closed space.
