This article explicates and extends the analyses put forth by the author in this book, Prisons of Poverty, which argues that the generalised increase of carceral populations in advanced societies is due to the growing use of the penal system as an instrument for managing social insecurity and containing the social disorders created at bottom of the class structure by neo-liberal policies of economie deregulation and social-welfare retrenchment.
