This powerful volume brings together scholars, activists, artists and experts-by-experience offering a radical critique of immigration detention and border carceral regimes more broadly, testifying to their inherent harms.


The contributors critically examine how COVID-19 intensified state control, abandonment, and marginalisation while highlighting inspiring acts of resistance and solidarity. Combining abolitionist and no-border perspectives alongside critical scholarly analysis, the book offers urgent insights into dismantling oppressive detention infrastructures and building caring communities.


Essential reading for academics, practitioners and activists committed to social justice, human rights and imagining abolitionist futures beyond borders and systems of incarceration.
