Heritage, resistance and dissonance
Pentridge Prison was established in 1851 in the Melbourne outer suburb of Coburg in the state of Victoria, Australia. Decommissioned in 1999, the site is marked by 150 years of white colonial violence, trauma, incarceration and death. Twenty-four years on, it has been repurposed to include a mix of residential and commercial developments. More recently, Art Processors have been contracted by the developers to curate new Pentridge tours and visito…
Delinquent Girls as Activists
The article examines the motivation and role of the insider activism that resulted in the preservation of a major historical site of female incarceration, the Parramatta Female Factory Precinct, in suburban Sydney. For much of the 20th century the site was a “Girls’ Home,” in which children who had committed no offense were incarcerated under child welfare regulations and literally treated like criminals. Life in the institution was characterized…
‘We Will Be Written Out of History’
Feminist activism has played an important role in documenting, highlighting and challenging carceral violence against women within and beyond prison walls. Using the campaign against the punitive segregation of women in high-security men’s prisons in the 1980s and 1990s in Victoria, Australia, as a case study, we illustrate the value of the activist archive for critical prisons research. The activist archive has the potential to expose continuiti…
Counter-carceral acoustemologies
This article provides an analysis of sonic protest strategies used by anti-carceral feminist coalitions in Melbourne, Australia. Our research demonstrates that sound is a particularly powerful boundary-crosser that can challenge the exclusionary spatial ordering of the prison. Under certain political and geographical conditions, the carceral soundscape, which increasingly restricts 'who gets to hear what', can be temporarily breached, altered and…
Penal reform, anti-carceral feminist campaigns and the politics of change in women’s prisons, Victoria, Australia
This paper emphasises the importance of locating contemporary abolitionist social movements within a continuum of broader struggles against structural injustice. Previous decades have seen the re-emergence of women’s penal reform programmes framed as progressive solutions for alleviating the structural disadvantages and harms associated with imprisonment. Abolitionists have provided fierce critiques of the risks these pose in reinforcing the legi…
They Died of a Broken Heart’
In this article we document women's experiences of post‐release survival and death in V ictoria, A ustralia. In particular, we map the interrelated impacts of trauma, criminalisation, institutionalisation and imprisonment. We build upon the existing post‐release mortality research, which has focused on quantifying and describing death, and provide a critical account of survival through the lens of women's experiences. Critically, we challenge the…
Women Exiting Prison
Pathways, race and gender responsive reform
In this article we take stock of a recent moment in penal history in Victoria, Australia, where agencies have implemented gender responsive policies to address the disproportionate growth in women’s prison numbers, and in particular the overrepresentation of women constructed as ‘culturally diverse’. We draw upon abolitionist and intersectional frames to provide a theoretical critique of this political event. Our analysis extends beyond the unita…
Women's survival post-imprisonment
The article examines the issue of women's unnatural post-prison deaths in Victoria, Australia, through the lens of women's accounts of survival and near-death after exit from prison. Central to this analysis is the seldom addressed or acknowledged relationship between trauma and the multiple harms and disadvantages that women experience both in the prison system and on the outside. In seeking to explicate the centrality oftrauma to women's experi…
Women, Trauma, Criminalisation and Imprisonment
This paper provides an exploratory analysis of the relationship between trauma, women's criminalisation and imprisonment. Research in this area predominantly focuses on women's pathways to imprisonment and trajectories characterised by victimisation, and social and economic disadvantage (cf Maloney et al 2009; DeHart 2005; Fine 1992). In this article we seek to shift the focus to explore the connections between women's experiences of trauma, crim…
R v Benbrika and ors (Ruling No 20)
This comment focuses on the treatment and conditions experienced by unconvicted terror suspects in Australian prisons paying particular attention to the case of the Pendennis defendants in Victoria's Barwon Prison. Central to this comment is Victorian Supreme Court Justice Bongiorno's recent landmark ruling that identified a link between the treatment and conditions of the defendants and their ability to receive a fair trial, While highlighting t…

Preempting Justice
The suppression of financing of terrorism legislation and measures are used as a case study to analyse the context of the international 'war on terror' and the development and implementation of a preemptive military doctrine globally. This illustrates the increasing tendency of the state to withdraw the guarantees of legal protection and intensify coercive state powers in the national security state
