Summary

Chapter 8 focuses on the impact of red zones and other bail and sentencing conditions of release on demonstrators’ lives and uses of public spaces. It documents protesters’ violent encounters with the criminal justice system and their experiences of banishment and carcerality. It also emphasizes how such orders curtail activism and political organizing. Recognizing the strategic connection between dissent and public spaces, this chapter suggests that legal actors play a crucial role in regulating who can access designated spaces at specific (strategic) times, and, more importantly, which political voices and messages are heard.
