This collection considers human rights and incarceration in
relation to the liberal-democratic states of Australia, New Zealand
and the UK. It presents original case-study material on groups that
are disproportionately affected by incarceration, including
indigenous populations, children, women, those with disabilities,
and refugees or 'non-citizens'. The book considers how and why
human rights are eroded, but also how they can be built and
sustained through social, creative, cultural, legal, political and
personal acts. It establishes the need for pragmatic reforms as
well as the abolition of incarceration. Contributors consider what
has, or might, work to secure rights for incarcerated populations,
and they critically analyse human rights in their legal,
socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. In covering this
ground, the book presents a re-invigorated vision of human rights
in relation to incarceration. After all, human rights are not
static principles; they have to be developed, fought over and
engaged with.
