This new edition of The Prison and the Factory, a classic work on
radical criminology, includes two new, long essays from the authors
and a foreword from Professor Jonathan Simon (UC Berkeley). In the
two essays, Melossi and Pavarini reflect on the origins,
development and fortune of The Prison and the Factory in relation
to the debates surrounding mass incarceration that have taken place
since this book was first published 40 years ago. The reputation of
the original work has long been established worldwide, and this
updated version will be of very special interest to scholars of the
criminal justice system, penology, and Marxist theory. This seminal
book examines the links between the development of capitalist
political economy and changing forms of social control. Melossi and
Pavarini analyse the connection between the creation of penal
institutions and regimes in Europe and the USA, and the problems
generated by the emergence of capitalist social relations. They
provide a thorough neo-Marxist view of emergent capitalism and the
penal mechanisms which are constructed to deal with the problem of
labour. Contemporary to but independent from the work of Michel
Foucault, Melossi and Pavarini combine research on the development
of penal philosophies and institutions with a rigorous account of
changing forms of capital accumulation, focusing on the use, and
the problem, of labour under capitalist relations.
