Disability Incarcerated gathers thirteen contributions from an impressive array of fields. Taken together, these essays assert that a complex understanding of disability is crucial to an understanding of incarceration, and that we must expand what has come to be called 'incarceration.' The chapters in this book examine a host of sites, such as prisons, institutions for people with developmental disabilities, psychiatric hospitals, treatment centers, special education, detention centers, and group homes; explore why various sites should be understood as incarceration; and discuss the causes and effects of these sites historically and currently. This volume includes a preface by Professor Angela Y. Davis and an afterword by Professor Robert McRuer.

Foreword by Angela Davis, renowned African American political activist and writer whose recent work focuses on abolishing the prison-industrial complex With an interdisciplinary focus, this book makes crucial connections between disability studies and the study of incarceration while expanding theoretical boundaries of each discipline This ground-breaking title is the only book-length work in disability studies or prison/incarceration studies that covers the geographical, temporal, and disciplinary areas highlighted in this collection
