abstract |
This chapter explores how prisons in England and Wales are haunted by the presence
of death. It details how prisoners experience civil death (death in law), social death
(death as a worthy human being) and corporeal death (literal death of the body). The
chapter discusses two different but associated abolitionist strategies to contest
the prison as a place of death: (i) naming the people who have died and recognising
their continued humanity, as a way to promote greater penal accountability; and, (ii)
direct action as a way of ‘making something happen’. Overall, the chapter points to
the need for a dedicated democratic public space (an agora) committed to rational,
informed debate that recognises the inherent deadly outcomes of imprisonment. |
