Carceral Space, Prisoners and Animals explores resonances across
human and nonhuman carceral geographies. The work proposes an
analysis of the carceral from a broader vantage point than has yet
been done, developing a 'trans-species carceral geography' that
includes spaces of nonhuman captivity, confinement, and enclosure
alongside that of the human. The linkages across prisoner and
animal carcerality that are placed into conversation draw from a
number of institutional domains, based on their form, operation,
and effect. These include: the prison death row/ execution chamber
and the animal slaughterhouse; sites of laboratory testing of
pharmaceutical and other products on incarcerated humans and
captive animals; sites of exploited prisoner and animal labor; and
the prison solitary confinement cell and the zoo cage. The
relationships to which I draw attention across these sites are at
once structural, operational, technological, legal, and
experiential / embodied. The forms of violence that span species
boundaries at these sites are all a part of ordinary, everyday,
industrialized violence in the United States and elsewhere, and
thus this 'carceral comparison' amongst them is appropriate and
timely.
