From 1939 to 1968, the Spanish territory in the Gulf of Guinea suffered from a double, imperial and fascist oppression under the Franco regime. While colonialism officially ended in 1968, the promise of independence perished as newly elected Francisco Macías Nguema —inspired by Francoism—became increasingly violent and repressive of political dissent. Colonial Black Beach prison became the site for incarceration, torture, and executions as Macías ruthlessly retaliated against political dissent. I analyze two contemporary novels, Poderes de la tempested (2004) by Donato Ndongo Bidyogo and Autorretrato con un infiel (2007) by José Fernando Siale Djangany, to show the prison—the edifice and its carceral reverberations in society—as the nexus of the double, fascist and imperial violence that persists and is renegotiated in the aftermath colonialism. From the metaphor of the prison, I explore the legacy of Francoist violence in post-colonial Equatorial Guinea that has been variedly characterized as colonialism's residual legacy or the perpetuation of afro-fascism or a self-inflicted colonialism. I wish to complicate the historical cause-and-effect. I reread these texts from a historical and literary perspective focusing on representations of prisons and carceral societies, while engaging with the co-implications of fascism and imperialism in Spanish and Equatorial Guinean history.
1939年至1968年，西班牙在几内亚湾的领土遭受佛朗哥政权的双重帝国主义和法西斯压迫。殖民主义于1968年正式结束，但随着新当选的弗朗西斯科·马西亚斯·恩圭马（Francisco Macías Nguema）在法语主义的启发下对政治异见人士越来越暴力和镇压，独立的承诺破灭了。殖民地黑海滩监狱成为监禁、酷刑和处决的场所，因为Macías无情地报复政治异见人士。我分析了两部当代小说，多纳托·恩东戈·比德约戈的《暴风雨的波德雷斯》（2004年）和若泽·费尔南多·西亚勒·詹加尼的《内讧的Autorretrato con un infiel》（2007年），以展示监狱——这座建筑及其在社会中的尸体反响——是殖民主义后持续存在并重新谈判的双重、法西斯和帝国暴力的纽带。从监狱的隐喻中，我探讨了后殖民时期赤道几内亚法语暴力的遗留问题，这些遗留问题被各种各样地描述为殖民主义的残余遗留问题，或者是非洲法西斯主义或自我强加的殖民主义的延续。我想把历史的因果关系复杂化。我从历史和文学的角度重读了这些文本，重点关注监狱和尸体社会的表现，同时探讨了法西斯主义和帝国主义在西班牙和赤道几内亚历史上的共同影响。

The punishment of organizational offending has largely been overlooked by penologists, despite the fact that organizational actors such as corporations and the state perpetrate the most serious forms of offending. Accordingly, this paper represents a step toward foregrounding organizational offending within the discipline of penology. We begin by discussing the implications of several Classical School ideals and theories of punishment for organizational offending, with special emphases on challenges and contradictions. We then review control strategies that are unique to organizational offending, and we go on to contemplate how expressive and non-institutional tactics might potentially factor into how organizational offending is punished. When taken together, these sections reveal the limitations of penology's traditional assumptions of an individual offender and individual offending. We conclude by outlining our view of what a penology of organizational offending should accomplish.

Prison healthcare reform and litigation have emerged as critical sites of social and political struggle in early twenty-first century punishment. In the case of Arizona, privatization of its prison healthcare system maintained commitments to cheap and mean punishment in the wake of economic crisis, which led to an ongoing class-action lawsuit over prisoners’ rights violations. By conducting a case study of Arizona's prison healthcare crisis, this article mobilizes important interventions in the theoretical accounts of late mass incarceration and the penal state. Not only did Arizona's brand of penal austerity anticipate the scaling back of social services across the state, but effectively subjected prisoners to a perpetual deferment of care. Drawing upon this sociopolitical context, I elaborate a theory of penal extraction whereby care capacity is not only removed from the prison, but the prisoner's life becomes like an exhaustible resource.

This article maps the emergence of a risk–gang nexus in the Swedish correctional field. Using the concept of penal layering, the article analyses the configuration of risk-based practices to manage gang affiliates in the context of Swedish prison and probation services. By introducing the notion interludes of penal layering, this article stresses the synchronic/diachronic opposition in penal change processes and furthers ongoing discussions of the variegated, braided, and uneven patterns of penal change in and beyond Nordic penal institutions. Drawing on interviews with probation officers, prison staff, and other professionals working with gangs in Sweden, the study finds that new rules, practices, decisional hierarchies, and actors have been layered on top of or alongside existing institutional arrangements to manage gang affiliates. This penal layer enforces punitive conditions for incarcerated gang affiliates and creates tensions, agonism, and contradictions between the coexisting and multiple logics of rehabilitation, punishment, and risk in the penal field.

Financial austerity, welfare state retrenchment, and the movement towards evidence-based interventions have intensified the pressures on penal voluntary sector (PVS) organizations. The result is an increasingly competitive field of social service provision in which organizations must differentiate themselves in the struggle over funding, contracts, symbolic authority, and potential clients. We explore this struggle by examining the distinct roads to reentry constructed at four PVS organizations in Ontario, Canada. Our analysis initiates a dialogue between individual narratives and organizational discourses, contending that the road to reentry is coauthored among organizations and criminalized individuals—albeit on unequal terms. Our findings reveal that there are significant pressures for criminalized individuals to perform narrative labor to align themselves with organizational understandings of reentry. Such pressures include: the denial of services or social assistance payments, threats of being returned to prison for “inadequate” participation in rehabilitation, and risks of not being considered for coveted “professional ex” positions at PVS organizations. In light of these empirical findings, we also offer a conceptual reflection on the challenges criminalized individuals likely face accessing services from multiple organizations with differing roads to reentry, suggesting that navigating these diverse roads not only requires narrative labor, but also narrative dexterity.

This paper presents a qualitative study exploring the concept of esprit de corps in prison officers (POs), through the interpretative lens of Social Identity Theory. The study relies on semi-structured interviews conducted with 26 POs working in Italian correctional facilities. Thematic analyses on the resulting data enabled us to identify POs’ esprit de corps as a complex and multidimensional construct that influences both their social identification with their professional group and their interpersonal relationships with members of their ingroup and outgroup. Findings from this study suggest that POs’ esprit de corps is a fundamental component of day-to-day prison life, taking effect on the symbolic and relational levels, fostering loyalty and cohesion among ingroup members, and contrast with members of the outgroup. We conclude that examining esprit de corps as a construct can give an important contribution to our criminological and sociological knowledge.

State failures to protect prisoners from COVID-19 have made prisons key “hotspots” of infection, particularly in the “new mass carceral zone” of Latin America. In Guatemala, which has the 3rd most overcrowded prison system in the world, such failure was a tragedy foretold. Longstanding hostility towards criminalized populations ensured that prisoners would be left to fend for themselves. This does not mean, however, that we should cast the prison as merely another “zone of abandonment” nor prisoners as helpless victims. Instead, drawing on the concept of “carceral community” and prison ethnography, this article maps how prisoner-leaders, entrepreneurs, extortionists, visitors, and officials navigate the absurd contradictions exposed in the collision between pandemic protection protocols and prison realities. This article explores a disavowed carceral community's efforts to make sense of, adapt to, and leverage the pandemic's constraints in the never-ending struggle to survive, profit from, and project power over and beyond prison life. The informal and the illicit articulate with government pandemic policies to create a volatile but deeply resilient modus vivendi, albeit with dire consequences for the most vulnerable on both sides of prison walls.

I first met Reuben Miller in Chicago in November 2012, at the annual conference of the American Society of Criminology, but we abandoned the conference that day. Instead, he took me around the westside reentry projects in which he had recently undertaken the fieldwork for his PhD research. When I got back toGlasgow, I wrote a blog-post about that experience. Having recounted a little about my impressions of the projects we visited, I wrote about the conversations that we shared. In particular, I recalled how frustrated Miller was with the (then) absence of any social movement or civil rights campaign around reentry, not least given its racialised dimensions. That absence was striking not least because we were talking within the very neighbourhoods from which the Black Panthers had emerged in the 1960s. As he later argued (Miller, 2014), rather than being understood as a question of state in/justice that should be resisted, ‘carceral devolution’ had cast reentry as a responsibility of former prisoners (to transform themselves); of their families (to welcome back their own); and of underfunded community organisations (to triage the consequences of mass incarceration). I argued in that blog-post, and argue still, that it is an obligation of any democratic state that punishes to ensure that punishment ends. Yet, asHalfway Home demonstrates so vividly, the ‘penal state’ or carceral state (Garland, 2013), however messy, fragmented and contested it may be (Rubin and Phelps, 2017), produces not re/integration but instead a ‘supervised society’ in which multiple forms of exclusion and disenfranchisement leave people in the condition Miller calls ‘carceral citizenship’ (Miller and Stuart, 2017). I was exercised enough by the memories of that day – and by the way that it provoked me to think afresh about reintegration in my own country (Scotland) to argue that:

In this paper I argue that if we are to make sense of why punishment differs between jurisdictions, then we should focus on the political cultures that shape penal practices. Political culture is conceived of here as a ‘practical consciousness’, made up of implicit and express cultural values and political commitments. Using the comparative case studies of Ireland and Scotland (from 1970–1990s), the paper tries to show that by taking the time to recover and interpret the beliefs and ideas that frame penal policymaking, we will be better able to illuminate and make sense of cross-national penal patterns. And using the leverage of cross-national contrast and analysis, we can also better understand punishment and its place in each society.
