Dr Caroline M. Parker – University of Manchester

Carceral Livelihoods in Puerto Rico

Dr Caroline M. Parker will present findings from her on-going book project, “Carceral Livelihoods in Puerto Rico” an ethnography of self-help drug rehabilitation centers in Puerto Rico. The book examines the role of mutual-aid drug treatment facilities in turning criminalized and addicted men into therapeutic adjuncts of the war on drugs. Based on one year of ethnographic fieldwork in resource-poor self-help facilities, Carceral Livelihoods traces the drug conviction-to-adjunct pipeline driving Puerto Rico’s recovery industry. As incarceration projects increasingly enlist self-help care structures, efforts to lower containment costs have found a fortuitous affinity in criminalized men’s efforts to better themselves, linking the imperial politics of mass incarceration to the dreams and ambitions of Puerto Rico’s poor.
