Clarendon studies in criminology
Content:
In 2006, the British government began to transform its prison system. Under pressure to find and deport 'foreigners', the Prison Service started to isolate non-citizens in special prisons, and to detain people well beyond their criminal sentences. These developments reflect a broader trend in punishment. In an era of mass mobility, prisons produce and police the edges of the nation. This book offers an empirical account of the prison's purpose.
