Abstract

This edited collection maps the spatial and affective practice of confinement across a range of carceral settings. It represents the definition of a new subdisciplinary field of ‘carceral geography’ that brings prisons, immigration detention centres and their wider punitive practices within one framework. Connecting the book to key political debates and themes surrounding the prison and detention industrial complex, and the criminalisation of foreign nationals and prisoners, the editors argue for the need to focus on confinement as an integrative spatial practice. They emphasise the increasing convergence of prison and detention policies, practices and discourses, and the expansion of institutional mechanisms and spaces to criminalise and control populations. Highlighting gaps between academics focused on migration securitisation and prison studies, the book makes a good case for the value of geography in shaping an integrative field of carceral studies. The editors point out that fundamental notions of space within the discipline are a useful means of unravelling the linkages between prisons and detention centres, and between carceral and everyday spaces. The book develops its research agenda focused on carceral space in two main ways. First, it synthesises empirical research from across an international range of prison and detention contexts,
