Title | The economic field and the end of mass incarceration |
Authors | Ruggiero, V. |
Abstract | In a recent special issue of Social Justice (Vol. 42, No 2), a series of critical contributions examine recent developments in North American penal systems, offering hypotheses around the apparent end of mass incarceration. This paper adopts a materialistic perspective, taking as a starting point the work of Rusche and Kirchheimer. It tries to update their analysis through the concept of economic field, a useful concept for an understanding of the contemporary material function of the prison institution in advanced societies. The analysis proposed is then brought to bear on the debate around mass incarceration and its alleged end. |
