Everyday Carcerality: How Organizations Police, Punish, and Control

Sun, August 9, 12:00 to 1:30pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

This session brings together scholars examining how organizations both inside and outside the formal carceral system participate in surveillance, punishment, and control. While some organizations —such as prisons, police, and probation departments— constitute the core of carceral governance, others, including schools, workplaces, and social service agencies, also adopt carceral logics and practices. By linking research on carceral organizations with studies of carcerality, surveillance, and control within ostensibly non-carceral institutions, this panel invites discussion about the organizational processes and mechanisms through which regulation, discipline, and exclusion are produced and sustained. Panelists will consider how carceral rationalities travel across organizational boundaries, how organizational form shapes the experience of control, and what these dynamics reveal about power and inequality in contemporary society.
