This introduction establishes the problem that the special issue addresses: punishment in global peripheries. Then, it justifies why analysing it is a timely task to examine such matters in the broader context of the growing debate on southernizing and decolonizing criminology, and more particularly, in punishment and society studies. Finally, the contents of the various articles comprised by this special issue and some of their common elements are briefly described.

This article presents a critical reflection on the task of reading penality from the periphery, adding to several significant contributions in punishment and society studies. It explores the center/periphery, North/South differentiations and their uses in recent social theory as a useful tool for studying contemporary penality at a global scale. It argues that previous modes of analysis did not put relations of inequality, subordination and dependence between different regions of the world in their agenda of research, because they were overwhelmingly concerned with penal processes and dynamics in the central contexts. Instead, it calls for placing at center stage the effects of imperialism and colonialism, in their different forms throughout history, in ways of thinking and acting in relation to penality and the center/periphery. From there, the article identifies some paradoxes and risks, as well as antidotes that provide a horizon for our future research.

In this article, I critically assess the concept of resocialization through discussions with women in Santa Monica Prison, the largest women's prison in Peru in 2018 and with former women prisoners in 2021. Alongside the formal, institutional gendered and classed forms and ideas of resocialization imposed by the prison, the women themselves innovate and develop new, collective and individual pathways to change. While few entirely disrupt the traditional, gendered norms and penal expectations, in their everyday experiences and collective activities, women seek, and sometimes manage to free themselves from patriarchal mandates.

Policing scholars have shown that logics of police governance that appear mutually exclusive can coexist in the same space and time. Within police institutions, we can find more military-like mindsets alongside democratic rationalities. We here present a novel theoretical perspective for understanding such coexistence. Instead of attempting to identify police rationalities by reference to organizational/structural factors such as subcultures, training, or firearms and other equipment, we show that contradictory logics of policing can coexist within the same force by differentiating policing's targets by space, temporality, and identity. To do so, we use the idea of “chronotope” to identify and understand how police officers decide between conflicting rationalities of policing.

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 17 parole officers working in Canadian federal correctional services to understand how their perceptions mediate well-being. Our study elucidates dimensions of interactional justice related to three elements of nonverbal communication theory (i.e. haptics, proxemics and kinesics). By centralizing the voices of our participants, we show how nonverbal communication theory mediates organizational citizenship behaviour and the multi-construct concepts of justice. Framing interpretations with how public employees interact, we reflect on the impacts to which correctional workers—as public safety employees—perceive their criminal justice employment. We argue exploration into nonverbal communication, and a deeper understanding of how correctional services govern, may provide structural accountability by closing a loop in organizational knowledge flow.

Karan Tripathi
presidents in shaping punitive policies in the post-colonial Uganda, and puts forward a punishment marked by a hyper-rigid verticality of power (Atenga, 2007: 9). Although this analysis is highly relevant to the understanding of the institutional history of states, it does not give us enough details about the agency of inmates. It does not tell us about the relational prison and the porous prison (Martin and Jefferson, 2019), the degrees of permeability (Schneider, 2020) that allow prisoners to adapt, circumvent the rules of punishment, or to forge links with their executioners in order to take advantage from their stay in prison. Such a micro-analysis of incarceration is not given enough prominence, despite the author’s desire to quote and interpret prisoners’ self-writings. Moreover, the author states from the outset that she wants to produce an analysis that adopts ‘a different approach, moving away from reformist prescriptions or sensationalized stories of brutality to instead focus on how incarceration was conceptualized, enacted, experienced, and contested in postcolonial Uganda’ (p. 17). It is difficult to develop such a reflection on prisons in the age of sensory criminology without highlighting a sensational story that triggers emotions. The political brutality described in his book is itself part spectacle, part theatre of violence. This spectacle and this theatricality of violence convey emotions that readers may interpret as sensational stories. It was therefore difficult, even for the author, to develop a historical analysis of prisons in authoritarian regimes without causing a sensation, so to speak.
并提出了一种以权力超刚性垂直为特征的惩罚(Atenga, 2007: 9)。尽管这种分析与理解国家制度历史高度相关,但它没有给我们提供足够的关于囚犯代理的细节。它没有告诉我们关系监狱和多孔监狱(Martin and Jefferson, 2019),渗透程度(Schneider, 2020),允许囚犯适应,规避惩罚规则,或与刽子手建立联系,以便利用他们在监狱里的时间。尽管作者希望引用和解读囚犯的自述,但这种对监禁的微观分析并没有得到足够的重视。此外,作者从一开始就表示,她想要进行一种分析,采用“一种不同的方法,远离改革主义的处方或耸人听闻的暴行故事,转而关注监禁是如何在后殖民乌干达概念化、制定、经历和争议的”(第17页)。在感官犯罪学盛行的时代,要对监狱进行这样的反思,就必须强调一个能引发情感的耸人听闻的故事。他书中所描述的政治暴行本身就是一种奇观,一种暴力剧场。这种场面和暴力的戏剧性传达的情感,读者可能会理解为耸人听闻的故事。因此,即使是作者,也很难在不引起轰动的情况下对专制政权的监狱进行历史分析。
