Les bagnes coloniaux visaient à amender, coloniser et éloigner. Au fil du temps, l'idée d'une possible régénaration du condamné aux travaux forcés s'est effacée au profit d'une peine purement expiatoire et afflictive? Il faut dire que le délinquant a vite fait d'être considéré comme une cellule infectée du corps social qu'il convenait d'éliminer en l'expédiant au plus loin de la métropole, principalement en Guyane. Louis Cros, qui porte le même nom que l'auteur -il a vraiment existé et aurait pu être l'un de ses ancêtres-, a la tête de l'emploi. Il est de ceux que l'on qualifie d'"incorrigibles". Un anonyme parmi les anonymes, broyé par la machine pénitentiaire pour avoir commis deux larcins et, comme le précisent les attendus de la cour l'ayant jugé : "s'être adonné à l'oisiveté". Voici son histoire, celle d'un bagnard ordinaire, racontée en 90 magnifiques gravures sans paroles, dans la veine des Frans Masereel, Lynd Ward ou Otto Nückel. Elles restituent magistralement, avec force détails, une réalité historique et un destin tragique qui nous rappellent que de tout temps, l'injustice frappe aveuglément.

Le drame social de la prison se joue avant tout dans les nouvelles formes de sociabilité qu'elle induit. Parler de théâtre carcéral permet notamment de saisir et de questionner les logiques de représentation et de rôles au coeur des interactions entre les différents acteurs sociaux des prisons. Les paroles de détenus retranscrites ici dévoilent une appréhension généralisée de la relation à l'autre, une (quasi) impossibilité à être « soi-même » au quotidien. À terme, ces expériences réduisent considérablement l'existence de commun à l'intérieur des murs et limitent fortement les possibilités d'un retour au commun à la sortie. Des réflexions qui rappellent l'urgence de repenser collectivement le sens de la peine.

Faire du théâtre en prison ou en Institution publique de protection de la jeunesse (IPPJ) est une entreprise complexe. Celle-ci s’inscrit dans un paradoxe qui tient à poursuivre dans un même espace-temps des finalités contradictoires. Les ateliers de théâtre organisés dans les institutions privatives de liberté à destination des personnes recluses sont ainsi au croisement de plusieurs rationalités que le présent ouvrage se propose d’analyser.La recherche a été menée par observation participante et s’intéresse aux effets subversifs de l’organisation d’un atelier de théâtre en prison et en IPPJ. Inspirée par le cadre de l’atelier théâtral et opérant sur le cadre de l’institution, la subversion est à comprendre comme un processus. Celui-ci prend naissance dans une double action (jouer-déjouer) qui permet aux acteurs sociaux de s’éloigner discrètement du rôle qui leur est prescrit par l’institution et de participer à la coconstruction d’une nouvelle rationalité. Ainsi, la subversion propose, imagine et insinue le doute, là où l’institution impose, reproduit et décrète.

Prisons are not typically known for cutting-edge media technologies. Yet from photography in the nineteenth century to AI-enhanced tracking cameras today, there is a long history of prisons being used as a testing ground for technologies that are later adopted by the general public. If we recognize the prison as a central site for the development of media technologies, how might that change our understanding of both media systems and carceral systems? Prison Media foregrounds the ways in which the prison is a model space for the control and transmission of information, a place where media is produced, and a medium in its own right.Examining the relationship between media and prison architecture, as surveillance and communication technologies are literally built into the facilities, this study also considers the ways in which prisoners themselves often do hard labor as media workers—labor that contributes in direct and indirect ways to the latest technologies developed and sold by multinational corporations like Amazon. There is a fine line between ankle monitors and Fitbits, and Prison Media helps us make sense of today’s carceral society.

A groundbreaking collective work of history by a group of incarcerated scholars that resurrects the lost truth about the first women’s prison What if prisoners were to write the history of their own prison? What might that tell them—and all of us—about the roots of the system that incarcerates so many millions of Americans? In this groundbreaking and revelatory volume, a group of incarcerated women at the Indiana Women’s Prison have assembled a chronicle of what was originally known as the Indiana Reformatory Institute for Women and Girls, founded in 1873 as the first totally separate prison for women in the United States. In an effort that has already made the national news, and which was awarded the Indiana History Outstanding Project for 2016 by the Indiana Historical Society, the Indiana Women’s Prison History Project worked under conditions of sometimes-extreme duress, excavating documents, navigating draconian limitations on what information incarcerated scholars could see or access, and grappling with the unprecedented challenges stemming from co-authors living on either side of the prison walls. With contributions from ten incarcerated or formerly incarcerated women, the result is like nothing ever produced in the historical literature: a document that is at once a shocking revelation of the roots of America’s first prison for women, and also a meditation on incarceration itself. Who Would Believe a Prisoner? is a book that will be read and studied for years to come as the nation continues to grapple with the crisis of mass incarceration.
