The move away from rehabilitation and toward incapacitation in the early 1970s remains a time when the problematic state of American prisons surfaced in Senate hearings, news magazines, television reporting, popular culture, and correctional practice as sites of crisis. This moment is now treated as the central dialogue and debate of contemporary penal thought, widely cited as initiating a significant shift in the study and practice of imprisonment. The incarnations of penological crisis are many, often divergent perspectives---ranging from the death of rehabilitation, the failure of penal reform movements, the discrediting of the sovereign state, the undertheorized quality of the field of penology, to the rise of custody and just deserts models amidst an unprecedented expansion of the American penal system. Penal scholars tend to agree, however, that this crisis is centered not only upon the failure of the twentieth century's dominant ideological frameworks for punishment---rehabilitation and reform---in the context of a massive expansion of the prison, but also upon a fundamental destabilization of the meanings and justifications for punishment in general. This study tracks this possibility and its relevance byway of an exploration of the use of the prison in cultural practice and performance. Through case studies of inmate experiences, examinations of media portrayals, and an analysis of the science surrounding imprisonment, this project revisits the philosophies and motives of U.S. imprisonment in order to interrelate and explore various invocations of penality in contemporary American culture, asking not only how the meanings of imprisonment have been conjugated and elaborated over the last three decades but why penological crisis has afforded such diverse and often seemingly oppositional kinds of cultural reactions.
