Abstract/Description

The purpose of this roundtable is to critically engage with central issues that will be addressed in an upcoming special issue of Incarceration devoted to "New Directions Theorizing 'the Prison' as an Institution.” The listed presentations will locate novel boundaries between punishment and the technical properties of prisons, analyze relational similarities and distances between prisons and other institutions of confinement, consider the appropriate levels of analysis for prison research, and, when possible, connect these arenas of inquiry to the power hierarchy among prison administrators and system-impacted groups.
