Résumé

In the prologue to this book, Whatcott explains that during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, her existing involvement in prison solidarity work began to incorporate the issue of immigration detention which they connect to eugenics. In this book, Whatcott argues that connecting eugenics to carcel systems produces a new, relevant angle about eugenics as an ideology.
