This groundbreaking book is a pioneering effort that brings together scholars and activists from diverse fields to address the pressing issue of criminal and immigration detention. Through an intersectional lens and a rich array of case studies, it makes a compelling case for reimagining justice for refugees, citizens, and everyone in between.

The book connects immigration detention and prison justice, aiming to shape a more promising future. The ten chapters delve into the intricate intersections of immigration detention with contemporary and potential notions of citizenship, membership, belonging, and punishments. Deprivation of liberty ranks among the most severe harms that an individual can endure. Immigration control is a nation-building endeavor characterized by racial, gender, class, ableist, and other forms of discrimination that shape and police access to permanent residence.

By drawing from a diverse range of interdisciplinary backgrounds, the contributors shed light on case studies spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. In engaging with social movements advocating for police brutality, they contemplate the implications of defunding the police, overhauling the criminal justice system, eradicating prisons (penal abolitionism), and ending all forms of containment (carceral abolitionism).

It is important to note that neither the prison nor the detention center is an inherent aspect of our social lives. This book collectively argues that abolishing detention holds the potential to unlock new visions of justice that can transform our societies.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies, further highlighting the importance and relevance of this work.
