This book can be used in a range of social science and humanities courses that center on key issues like criminal justice, social movements, gender and multicultural studies, inequality, and social justice.
Neoliberalism fundamentally shapes how carceral systems and ideology emerge in our everyday lives. This volume illustrates not only the major frameworks at play, but the lived realities of how the carceral state insidiously infiltrates social institutions through neoliberal means. The authors evaluate and propose the ways that activism and other mechanisms of social change may reduce the damaging effects of these systems of power.

The book features an interdisciplinary set of contributions from scholars, activists, and professionals with intimate knowledge of how the intersection of neoliberalism and carceral reach takes shape. The book will capture how these realities impact education, reproductive health and rights, housing justice, prison proliferation, and racial violence. The authors extend the frameworks of neoliberalism and carceral reach into other social institutions where we see hyperpunitiveness, targeting, and extreme social control of vulnerable groups. It explicates concrete strategies to disrupt these connections from people who have studied and worked in these institutions for decades.
