Book Synopsis Dignity, Women, and Immigration Detention by : Alice Gerlach
Download or read book Dignity, Women, and Immigration Detention written by Alice Gerlach and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the experience of immigration enforcement for women who have been detained in immigration detention in the UK. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with women who have been in immigration detention centres, Dignity, Women, and Immigration Detention demonstrates how immigration detention violates women’s sense of dignity and in doing so, causes women to suffer pains that are incongruent with the administrative purpose of immigration removal centres. The women interviewed were either detained in an Immigration Removal Centre, had spent time in this centre before being released into the UK community, or had been removed to Jamaica following time in immigration detention. This book argues that the current system used by the UK government is unfit for purpose and damaging to many of those who are ensnared within it. In examining dignity violation, lack of autonomy and diminishment, the book also considers possible alternatives to the current practice of incarceration and what can be done to alleviate the harms that are currently inflicted on women during the process of immigration enforcement in the UK. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners in criminology, sociology, law, social policy, and all those interested in listening to the unheard voices of detained women.

Book Synopsis A World Without Cages by : Sharry Aiken
Download or read book A World Without Cages written by Sharry Aiken and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first collection to bring together scholars and activists working to end criminal and immigration detention. Employing an intersectional lens and an impressive variety of case studies, the book makes a compelling case to rethink what justice could mean for refugees, citizens, and everyone in between. The book connects immigration detention and prison justice towards reimagining a newer, better future. The ten chapters probe the intersections of immigration detention with current and potential forms of citizenship, membership, belonging, and punishments. Deprivation of liberty is one of the most serious harms that someone can experience. Immigration control is a nation-building project where racial, gender, class, ableist, and other lines of discrimination filter and police access to permanent residence. Employing a kaleidoscope of interdisciplinary backgrounds, the contributors bring this focus to bear on case studies spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. In conversation with social movements challenging police brutality, the contributors are thinking through the implications of de-funding the police, overhauling the ‘criminal justice’ system, eradicating prisons (penal abolitionism), and ending all forms of containment (carceral abolitionism). Neither the prison nor the detention centre is an inevitable feature of our social lives. This book collectively argues that abolishing detention could pave the way for new visions of justice to emerge. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.

Book Synopsis Incarcerated Stories by : Shannon Speed
Download or read book Incarcerated Stories written by Shannon Speed and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous women migrants from Central America and Mexico face harrowing experiences of violence before, during, and after their migration to the United States, like all asylum seekers. But as Shannon Speed argues, the circumstances for Indigenous women are especially devastating, given their disproportionate vulnerability to neoliberal economic and political policies and practices in Latin America and the United States, including policing, detention, and human trafficking. Speed dubs this vulnerability "neoliberal multicriminalism" and identifies its relation to settler structures of Indigenous dispossession and elimination. Using innovative ethnographic practices to record and recount stories from Indigenous women in U.S. detention, Speed demonstrates that these women's vulnerability to individual and state violence is not rooted in a failure to exercise agency. Rather, it is a structural condition, created and reinforced by settler colonialism, which consistently deploys racial and gender ideologies to manage the ongoing business of occupation and capitalist exploitation. With sensitive narration and sophisticated analysis, this book reveals the human consequences of state policy and practices throughout the Americas and adds vital new context for understanding the circumstances of migrants seeking asylum in the United States.

Download or read book Locking Up Family Values written by Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On any given day the U.S. government has the capacity to detain over 600 men, women, and children apprehended as family units along the U.S. border and within the interior of the country. The detention of families expanded dramatically in 2006 with the opening of the new 512-bed T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas. Although Hutto has become the centerpiece of a major expansion of immigration detention in America, it builds on and further institutionalizes many of the practices established at the smaller Berks Family Shelter Care Facility in Leesport, Pa., where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained a small number of families since 2001. The recent increase in family detention represents a major shift in the U.S. government's treatment of families in immigration proceedings. Prior to the opening of Hutto, the majority of families were either released together from detention or separated from each other and detained individually. Children were place in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Division for Unaccompanied Children's Services, and parents were detained in adult facilities.

Book excerpt: "[The report] documents how people in immigration detention, including those fleeing persecution and seeking protection in Canada, are regularly handcuffed, shackled, and held with little to no contact with the outside world. With no set release date, they can be held for months or years. Many are held in provincial jails with the regular jail population and are often subjected to solitary confinement. Those with psychosocial disabilities - or mental health conditions - experience discrimination throughout the process."--Publisher website.
Download or read book Life on Hold written by Aileen Marie Ford and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines daily life in U.S. immigrant detention in the state of Texas based on the perspective of formerly detained, asylum-seeking women from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. It seeks to answer the following primary questions: what are the policies and structures of current U.S. immigrant family detention centers in Texas, and how do they impact asylum-seeking Central American women and their children living in detention for weeks or months as a time? What internal or external resources do these women draw upon to survive the challenges of detention, and what happens to them once they leave? This thesis draws on theoretical texts, statistical data, news sources, and reports from international organizations and NGOs to build a conceptual framework to understand U.S. immigrant family detention; however, it places the memories and opinions of formerly-detained women at the heart of its conclusions by engaging in the methodology of oral history and the Latin American tradition of testimonio. This work is therefore divided into four principal chapters exploring: (1) country conditions in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, as well as women’s reasons for leaving home; (2) asylum-seeking women’s encounters with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in the holding cells known as hieleras, or “iceboxes”; (3) experiences of daily life in two new, privately-operated immigrant family detention centers in Texas; and (4) women’s individual and collective efforts to resist the challenges of detention and find freedom. Generally speaking, asylum-seeking women from Central America experienced substantial discrimination, physical distress, and psychological hardship during their time in U.S. immigrant detention which left long-term negative impacts on their families’ overall health. Despite this, Central American women who participated in this thesis drew upon multiple internal resources to overcome barriers and organized to defend their human rights inside detention.
