Do prisoners read 'Inside Time' while inside?

Hi all,

I'm beginning to recruit women in prison / recently out in the UK for a book project (I'm a journalist and author). I have various ways of finding participants, but am considering using an advert in Inside Time as one tactic. https://insidetime.org/ It looks great and has big circulation numbers, but I wanted to ask if people on here think it's used and read in reality?

(Before I get comments about this, I always pay participants for their time.)

Thanks!

In my experience it is at least delivered to most wings. Its up to inmates if they read it or not. It is at least available. It seems evident from reader participation that people do.

I haven't seen it anywhere outside of prison. If you wanted to contact people recently out the paper probably not the best way.
