Summary:Introduction / Erin Hatton -- Working behind bars : prison labor in America / Erin Hatton -- From extraction to repression : prison labor, prison finance, and the prisoners' rights movement in North Carolina / Amanda Bell Hughett -- The political economy of work in ICE custody : theorizing mass incarceration and for-profit prisons / Jacqueline Stevens -- The carceral continuum : beyond the prison labor/free labor divide / Noah D. Zatz -- Held in Abeyance : labor therapy and surrogate livelihoods in Puerto Rican therapeutic communities / Caroline M. Parker -- "You put up with anything" : on the vulnerability and exploitability of formerly-incarcerated workers / Gretchen Purser -- Working reentry : gender, carceral precarity, and post-incarceration geographies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin / Anne Bonds -- Conclusion / Philip Goodman.
"The insightful chapters in this volume reveal the multiple and multifaceted intersections between mass incarceration and neoliberal precarity. Both mass incarceration and the criminal justice system are profoundly implicated in the production and reproduction of the low-wage "exploitable" precariat, both within and beyond prison walls. The carceral state is a regime of labor discipline-and a growing one-that extends far beyond its own inmate labor. This regime not only molds inmates into compliant workers willing and expected to accept any "bad" job upon release but also compels many Americans to work in such jobs under threat of incarceration, all the while bolstering their "exploitability" and socioeconomic marginality."
