Punish and Expel: Border Control, Nationalism, and the New Purpose of the Prison

In: Clarendon Studies in Criminology Ser.

Abstract

Provides a rare glimpse of life inside British prisons, where non-citizens are increasingly segregated from the rest of the penal population. Using first-hand testimonies from prisoners, prison staff, and high-level policy makers, it describes how a national scandal led to policies that have transformed prisons into sites for border control.
