In 2006, after a scandal that gripped the country, the British
government began to transform its prison system. Under pressure to
find and expel foreigners, Her Majesty's Prison Service began
concentrating non-citizens in prisons with 'embedded' border
agents. Today, prison officers refer anyone suspected of being
foreign to immigration authorities and prisoners facing deportation
are detained in special prisons devoted to confining non-citizens.
Those who cannot be deported linger, sometimes for years,
indefinitely detained behind prison walls. The British approach to
foreign nationals reflects a broader trend in punishment. Over the
past decade, penal institutions across England, the United States,
and Western Europe have become key sites for border control.
Offering the first comprehensive account of the imprisonment of
non-citizens in the United Kingdom, Punish and Expel: Border
Control, Nationalism, and the New Purpose of the Prison draws on
extensive empirical data, based on fieldwork in five men's prisons,
to explore the relationship between punishment and citizenship.
Using first-hand testimonies from hundreds of prisoners, prison
officers, and high-level policy makers, it describes how prisons
create a national identity and goes inside citizenship classes and
'all-foreign' prisons, documenting the treatment of non-citizens by
other prisoners and staff. Passionately argued and meticulously
researched, Punish and Expel links prisons to the history of
British colonialism and the contemporary politics of race, whilst
challenging readers to rethink their approach to prisons, and to
the people held inside them.
