From Lynch Mobs to the Deportation State
This article explores the relationship between mob violence, immigration control, and the early twentieth-century US deportation regime. Scholars examining the decline of lynch violence in the South typically see modern criminal justice as a new incarnation of white, heteropatriarchal violence. But they have left the deportation apparatus, a conjoined element of a US carceral assemblage, unexamined. This article argues that modern border policing…
Seeing Ms. Dhu
This article examines the politics of vision and invisibility in Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and Coronial Inquests into deaths in custody. Ms. Dhu, a 22-year-old Yamatji woman, died in police custody in August 2014, in South Hedland, Western Australia, after being locked up for unpaid fines. Ms. Dhu’s final hours were captured by CCTV cameras built into South Hedland’s Police Station and Hospital, and that footage played a central role in the in…
Strange passages
In the early twentieth century, the United States developed an integrated, continental deportation network based on rail travel. This new state apparatus would enable the restrictionists' dream of immigration control and speed the elimination of those they deemed unfit for American life. It set a template for mass removal that would expand in the century to come. Scholars of immigrant detention and removal commonly employ Victor Turner's concept …
National Vitality, Migrant Abjection, and Coercive Mobility
The United States has one of the world’s most extensive systems of mass removal. Its historical roots draw on 19th century biopolitical traditions of border control and internal anti-immigrant policing. In the early 20th century, rail technologies enabled an economical assemblage of steel and law, of racism and politics, attempting national purification by expelling ‘undesirable aliens.’ The process differentiated between the categories of privil…

Engineering and War
This paper shows how the connections between engineering and warfare/militarism are closer than is usually recognized. It investigates the nature of that relationship using theoretical perspectives from critical theory and social constructionism. We draw on historical research into the influence of military institutions and interests on the field of engineering, but also look broadly at cultures of warfare that extend beyond formalized military i…
The Culture of the Condemned
Between 1830 and 1930, the removal of legal and extralegal executions from public view in the United States bolstered the law’s efficiency while expanding its reach. Scholars have focused on external political effects, largely ignoring the lives of the condemned in the modern killing states. As they were withdrawn ever further behind prison walls, the condemned rearticulated the meanings of their deaths, which would to exceed, to whatever extent …
America Is the Prison
Lee Bernstein examines prison inmates’ literature and theater to identify a central paradox of 1970s penality: the same decade that saw the fruition of generations of prison reformers’ ideas of retraining, therapy, education, and artistic practice also saw the rise of hard right revanchism. Using a definition of culture that tends toward the construction of meaning through aesthetic production (rather than a whole way of being), he argues that pr…

A Parody on the Law
In 1884, the Texas Capitol’s builders brought prisoners from the state’s convict lease to cut costs and maximize profits. Members of the National Granite Cutters Union were outraged, and refused to train the prisoners to work on such a symbolically important project. In response, the builders sent to Aberdeen, Scotland, and, in direct violation of the Foran Act, contracted Scots workers to break the Union's boycott. Prisoners resisted exploitatio…
The Strange Career of Leo Stanley
Dr. Leo Stanley served as San Quentin's chief surgeon for nearly four decades. Between 1913 and 1951, he oversaw the modernization of its medical regime, shifting from Lombrosian eugenic criminology through biomedical explanations for crime, and finally into psychological treatments in the postwar period. Throughout, Stanley fixated on curing various crises of manhood. Under Stanley's scalpel, prisoners became subjects in a series of eugenic trea…
A Dark Cloud Will Go Over’
Risk managers and health officials in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice today record a category of injury under the curious title 'Caught In-Between'. There are a great many others, whose meanings are more evident: Slips, Trips and Falls; Chemical poisoning; Struck By/Against; Over-Exertion; Aggressive Behavior. 'Caught In-Between' is defined as 'a pinch point type injury that involves mashing or squeezing', including 'caught in a door, be…
