Going to Jail

In this course, we will read fiction and nonfiction by journalists, scholars, activists, and prisoners in order to consider how different forms of incarceration impact convicts, their jailers, and the societies that create them; about the pitfalls and benefits of narrating prison life or transforming it into art; and about the ways in which concepts of criminality, restitution, and punishment have changed (or not) over the past century.
