This book examines the forms and practices of Irish confinement
from the 19th century to present-day to explore the social and
political failings of 20th and 21st century postcolonial Ireland.
Building on an interdisciplinary conference held in the Crumlin
Road Gaol, Belfast, the methodological approaches adopted across
this book range from the historical and archival to the
sociological, political, and literary. This edited collection
touches on topics such as industrial schools, Magdalen laundries,
struggles and resistance in prisons both North and South, Direct
Provision, and the ways in which prison experiences have been
represented in literature, cinema, and the arts. It sketches out an
uncomfortable picture of the techniques for policing bodies
deployed in Ireland for over a century. This innovative study seeks
to establish a link between Ireland's inhumane treatment of women
and children, of prisoners, and of asylum seekers today, and to
expose and pinpoint modes of resistance to these situations.
