| Summary: | In this chapter, we critically examine the historical evolution of the all-foreign national prison and provide a global overview of penal sites that fit the description. This analysis demonstrates how the segregation of foreign national offenders for the purposes of deportation is predicated on historically and geographically specific constructions of penality and border control. Notably, all-foreign prisons are almost entirely an exclusionary tool of northern states, employed as a means of ‘managing migration through crime’ (Chacón, 2009; Franko, 2020). States in the global south that are embroiled in internal conflicts employ similar institutions to neutralize or assimilate populations on their territories. This analysis highlights the important relationship between criminal justice and political membership, emphasizing the role of all-foreign prisons within a broader body of practices wherein penal practices are employed to define the boundaries of membership. Following colonial scripts, we argue, these penal institutions, in both the global north and the global south, are utilized in the management of racialized populations in processes of nation-building. |
