from Part III - Criminalized Care
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 August 2022
Inevitably, when we criminalize care, we affect far more than just the road to any particular program or support. Chapters 6 and 7 focused on those roads, describing how rules, practices, and bias draw women and families out of care systems into punishment systems and how the locations of care inside punishment systems draws them further in. In this chapter, the focus turns from the road to care to the end of that road, to the care itself. It asks and, in the context of this study, answers, a fundamental question: What happens to care itself when care is criminalized? As we learned in Chapter 3, care for those who we stigmatize, for those who we deem worthy of surveillance and punishment, for those who we are willing to label “criminal,” is all too often substantively different than the care we provide for everyone else.
