From broken-window policing in Detroit to prison-building in
Appalachia, exploring the expansion of the carceral state and its
oppressive social relations into everyday life Prison Land offers a
geographic excavation of the prison as a set of social
relations-including property, work, gender, and race-enacted across
various landscapes of American life. Prisons, Brett Story shows,
are more than just buildings of incarceration bound to cycles of
crime and punishment. Instead, she investigates the production of
carceral power at a range of sites, from buses to coalfields and
from blighted cities to urban financial hubs, to demonstrate how
the organization of carceral space is ideologically and materially
grounded in racial capitalism. Story's critically acclaimed film
The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is based on the same research that
informs this book. In both, Story takes an expansive view of what
constitutes contemporary carceral space, interrogating the ways in
which racial capitalism is reproduced and for which police
technologies of containment and control are employed. By framing
the prison as a set of social relations, Prison Land forces us to
confront the production of new carceral forms that go well beyond
the prison system. In doing so, it profoundly undermines both
conventional ideas of prisons as logical responses to the problem
of crime and attachment to punishment as the relevant measure of a
transformed criminal justice system.
