Nearly every county and major city in the United States has a jail,
the short-term detention center controlled by local sheriffs that
funnels people into prisons and long-term incarceration. While the
growing movement against incarceration and policing has called to
reform or abolish prisons, jails have often gone unnoticed, or in
some cases seen as a "better" alternative to prisons." Yet jails,
in recent decades, have been the fastest-growing sector of the US
carceral state. Jails are widely used for immigrant detention by
ICE and the U.S. Marshals and as a place to offload people that
prisons can't hold. As jails grow, they transform the region around
them, and whole towns and small cities see health care, mental
health care, substance abuse, and employment opportunities taken
over by carceral concerns. If jails are everywhere, resistance to
jails is too. The recent jail boom has sparked a wealth of local
activist struggles to resist and close jails all across the United
States, from rural counties to major cities. The Jail Is Everywhere
brings these disparate voices together, with contributions from
activists, scholars, and expert journalists describing the effects
of this quiet jail boom, mapping the growth of the carceral state,
and sharing strategies from recent fights against jail construction
to strengthen struggles against jailing everywhere. With a foreword
by Ruth Wilson Gilmore.
