Description

There are 2.3 million people incarcerated in United States prisons and jails, and even more are entangled with the system through probation and parole. You might have a friend or family member inside, but even iif prison feels like a far-away construct to you, chances are that you’ve encountered a depiction of a prison in some form of media within the last month, if not the last week. While representations are not the same thing as reality, this course will consider the ways in which the prison system manifests in texts from the 19th century to today. We’ll think about the connection these representations have to the public’s understanding of how the criminal justice system works. We’ll explore a range of literature, including poetry, songs, novels, and plays, primarily from the US and the UK, supplemented with scholarly texts. Writers include Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin, Jesmyn Ward, Angela Davis and Brett Story. In addition to participation in class discussion and activities, this course will require you to write a close reading analysis, a comparative essay, a research-based essay, and a cumulative reflection.
