Abstract

This panel will feature recent normative work in political theory which examines the challenges that proliferating practices of mass- or hyper-incarceration raise for governments that are committed to core democratic values and principles. Particular attention will be given to the ways in which current incarceration regimes and correctional systems can and currently do undermine basic democratic or democratically relevant rights and liberties – most notably, the right to free movement and the right to control one’s labour capacity.
