Commissioned directly by the Ministry of Justice, this report documents a dialogue-based consultation with prisoners about the Transforming Rehabilitation agenda. Where traditional methods — surveys, focus groups, one-on-one interviews — tend to produce managed or surface-level responses, Dialogic Research is designed to surface what those methods miss: the unmediated perspective of people whose lives are directly shaped by organisational decisions but who hold no formal influence over them. Jane Ball and Peter Garrett argue that this methodological distinction matters, that consulting prisoners through dialogue rather than conventional research instruments yields qualitatively different, and more honest, results. The report stands as an example of dialogue being used as a tool for institutional accountability, bringing the offender's own account of resettlement into a policy-facing document.
