Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on impoliteness and the use of communicative strategies, designed to attack face. The study makes an attempt to analyze defi nitions and understandings of impoliteness. Moreover, having justifi ed why an impoliteness framework is needed, we explore the models of impoliteness developed by Culpeper and Bousfi eld and consider whether the impoliteness strategies can be found in prison discourse type. Taking the scripts of American TV series: Orange Is the New Black, namely the interaction between prison offi cials and inmates (on the one hand) and prison inmates (on the other) as the data, we will attempt to observe what type of impoliteness strategies seems to be prevalent in prison discourse.
