Abstract

Spanish prisons, housing 35% of foreign inmate population, need to face the challenges stemming from their recently acquired language and cultural diversity. One of such challenges is related to enabling communication between prison staff and non Spanish speaking inmates. This paper summarizes the conclusions of an empirical study conducted in the prisons of the region of Valencia (Spain) which focus on the interpreter in this field.
