Carceral mobilities: interrogating movement in incarceration

Mobilities research is now centre stage in the social sciences with wide-ranging work that considers the politics underscoring the movements of people and objects, critically examining a world that is ever on the move.

At first glance, the words 'carceral' and 'mobilities' seem to sit uneasily together.

This book challenges the assumption that carceral life is characterised by a lack of movement.

It brings together contributions that speak to contemporary debates across carceral studies and mobilities research, offering fresh insights to both areas by identifying and unpicking the manifold mobilities that shape, and are shaped by, carceral regimes.
