“This is an American story, unsettled by contradictions,
constituted by unresolvable loss and open-ended hope, produced
through brutal exclusivities and persistent insurgencies. This is
the story of Lincoln prison.” In her Introduction, Sabina E.
Vaught passionately details why the subject of prisons and prison
schooling is so important. An unprecedented institutional
ethnography of race and gender power in one state’s juvenile
prison school system, Compulsory will have major implications for
public education everywhere. Vaught argues that through its
educational apparatus, the state disproportionately removes young
Black men from their homes and subjects them to the abuses of
captivity. She explores the various legal and ideological forces
shaping juvenile prison and prison schooling, and examines how
these forces are mechanized across multiple state apparatuses, not
least school. Drawing richly on ethnographic data, she tells
stories that map the repression of rightless, incarcerated youth,
whose state captivity is the contemporary expression of age-old
practices of child removal and counterinsurgency. Through a
theoretically rigorous analysis of the daily experiences of
prisoners, teachers, state officials, mothers, and more, Compulsory
provides vital insight into the broad compulsory systems of
schooling—both Inside prison and in the world Outside—asking
readers to reconsider conventional understandings of the role,
purpose, and value of state schooling today.
