The United States of America is in possession of the largest prison
population in the world, with 2.3 million people currently behind
bars. This number is predominantly and disproportionately made up
of communities of colour and poverty. Between 1987 and 2007, the
U.S. prison population tripled; the direct result of various 'tough
on crime' public policies. Organizers and scholars use the term
prison industrial complex (PIC) to name the structure that
encompasses the expanding economic and political contexts of the
detention and corrections industry in the USA. The PIC is a network
that sutures capital, communities and the State to a permanent
punishment economy. The term 'the PIC' aims to capture the range of
material and ideological forces that shape the growth of detention:
the political and lobbying power of the corrections officers
unions, the framing of prisons and jails as a growth industry in
the context of deindustrialization, the production and sales of
technology and security required to maintain and expand the state
of incarceration, and the naturalization of isolation as a logical
response to harm. Education and Incarceration highlights the
significance of centering agency and autonomy, and documents
scholars who work to be accountable to justice movements and
communities, not simply to academic disciplines or to research.
Additionally, as emerging scholars committed to challenging the
PIC, these authors struggle to build multi-layered analytic and
material tools for resistance within and beyond the walls of
schools, jails and prisons. This book provides snapshots of
practices in motion: activist scholars working to engage, to be
accountable to families, communities and larger justice movements,
and to build abolition democracies. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education.
