Analyzed via a framework of an increasing incarceration country, Meiners demonstrates how academic practices that disproportionately aim formative years of colour turn into associated on to practices of racial profiling which are endemic in country buildings. As early as preschool, such academic guidelines and practices disqualify expanding numbers of scholars of colour as they're funneled via faculties as under-educated, unemployable, 'dangerous,' and short of surveillance and containment. by way of linking colleges to prisons, Meiners asks researchers, activists, and educators to think about not only how our colleges’ actual buildings resemble prisons— steel detectors or college uniforms— however the tentacles in guidelines, practices and casual wisdom that help, naturalize, and expand, relationships among incarceration and faculties. realizing how and why felony enlargement is feasible necessitates connecting faculties to prisons and the felony justice process, and redefining "what counts" as academic coverage.
