Carceral Capitalism - (Semiotext(e) / Intervention) by Jackie Wang (Paperback)

The "Carceral Capitalism" collection of essays by Jackie Wang is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the contemporary incarceration techniques that have emerged since the 1990s.

This book delves into various aspects of the carceral continuum, including the biopolitics of juvenile delinquency, predatory policing, the political economy of fees and fines, cybernetic governance, and algorithmic policing.

Wang's influential critique of liberal anti-racist politics, "Against Innocence," is also included in this volume. Through a series of insightful essays, Wang reveals the devastating psychic toll that these incarceration techniques have on residents and the ways in which they are routinely dehumanized and exploited by the police.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the carceral continuum and its impact on society, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues surrounding mass incarceration and criminal justice reform.
