Current Projects

My current research pursues two branches of inquiry:

  • Theorizing Transitions/Penal Change – Where do “new” punishments come from and how successfully do they replace conventional, outmoded forms of punishment?
  • Understanding Everyday “Resistance” in Prison – What are the causes and effects of prisoners’ “secondary adjustments” (or friction, micro-resistance, and resistance)?
