Disruption and Regrouping: Learning about Prisons and Moving Beyond What’s Always Been

Thu, Nov 13, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Independence Salon H - M4

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel brings together several top carceral scholars from both the U.S. and Canada to examine, explore, and question the status quo of correctional organizations’ care, custody, and control model(s). By focusing on staff wellness, the overreach of control at the expense of rehabilitation, environmental hazards and harms, and bureaucratic formalization the involved researchers shine a light into several dark corners while also illuminating pathways out of the darkness.
