This is the first book to provide a comprehensive
historical-geographical lens to the development and evolution of
correctional institutions as a specific subset of carceral
geographies. This book analyzes and critiques global practices of
incarceration, regimes of punishment, and their corresponding
spaces of "corrections" from the eighteenth to twenty-first
centuries. It examines individuals' experiences within various
regulatory regimes and spaces of punishment, and offers an
interpretation of spaces of incarceration as cultural-historical
artifacts. The book also analyzes the spatial-distributional
geographies of incarceration, particularly with respect to their
historical impact on community political-economic development and
local geographies. Contributions within this book examine a range
of prison sites and the practices that take place within them to
help us understand how regimes of punishment are experienced, and
are constructed in different kinds of ways across space and time
for very different ends. The overall aim of this book is to help
understand the legacies of carceral geographies in the present. The
resonances across space and time tell a profound story of social
and spatial legacies and, as such, offer important insights into
the prison crisis we see in many parts of the world today.
