Questions to Consider:
- “Through the imprisonment of their kin and kith, mass incarceration brings millions of women—especially poor women of color—into contact with the criminal justice system.” Discuss what sorts of experiences these women face that are similar to that of inmates, despite the fact they are legally innocent. Are these considered collateral consequences?
- What sort of “shaming” is faced by the women who face this experience? Discuss the collateral damages faced.
- What is “the Tube”? Discuss the metaphors used to describe this and their meaning to those who experience it.
Questions to consider:
- What is meant by the “peculiar institution”? Why is this important in the current social context?
- Stigma; constraint; territorial confinement; and institutional encasement are said to be the four elements that are used as a form of ethnoracial control and closure. Provide an example of a U.S. city that may be using these elements in order to create a distinct space, containing a homogeneous population, which finds itself forced to develop within the confines and under subordination to that of the superior.
- What is mean by the ghetto that operates as an ethnoracial prison? Why is this important to those studying social inequality?
