Why do the UK and US disproportionately incarcerate the mentally
ill, frequently poor people of color? Via multiple re-framings of
the question-theological, socioeconomic, and psychological- Andrew
Skotnicki diagnoses a "persecution of the prophetic" at the heart
of the contemporary criminal justice system. This interdisciplinary
book draws on criminology, theology, philosophy, sociology,
psychology, and psychiatric history to consider the increasingly
intractable issue of mass incarceration. Inviting a new,
collaborative conversation on penal reform as a fundamentally
"life-affirming" project, it defends the dignity of those diagnosed
as mentally unstable and their capacity for spiritual
transcendence.
