The Warehouse Prison
This book examines the nature of imprisonment in the U.S. warehouse prisons through a study of Solano State Prison, a new California middle-range institution, where new technologies and prison regimes are being used to control up to 6,000 inmates. These inmates are crowded in a small space, with little access to rehabilitative and recreational programs. Control is accomplished through the physical design of the prison, the use of surveillance technology, the rigid enforcement of extensive rules, and the possibility of transferring troublesome prisoners to supermax prisons. The book identifies harm that this kind of prison experience imposes on individuals, and looks at the difficulties ex-inmates have in adjusting after release.
The Warehouse
Mass incarceration is a lived, sensory experience. The most eye-popping statistics alone cannot relate the enormity of its psychological and societal impacts. This concise, illustrated primer is a collaboration between one of mass incarceration’s sharpest opponents, James Kilgore, and information artist Vic Liu. It brings to life the histories and means of daily survival of the marginalized people ensnared in this racist, ableist system of class-based oppression. The book elegantly weaves together the most insightful activist scholarship with vivid testimonials by incarcerated people as they fight back against oppression and imagine freedom. Those targeted for incarceration do not simply submit to a monochromatic existence behind bars. The Warehouse showcases the abolition futures being crafted from the inside as people resist through direct action and artistic expression. This book is designed to inform, enrage, and ultimately inspire the same radical hope propelling incarcerated underminers of the carceral state.
