AbstractThis article examines key sociological questions that are raised by the confinement of children and young people. Globally, there are approximately one million children held in confinement, and there is an emerging body of qualitative sociological research in this area. This article examines the role that social constructions of childhood innocence and evil play in shaping the processes of protection and removal, and how these constructions play a role in mediating state strategies of punishment and rehabilitation. The article also draws from an emerging body of qualitative sociological research to examine the role of youth confinement institutions in socializing vulnerable young people.

This brief think piece considers the uses of "people first" language in the context of incarceration, both from a historical and contemporary perspective, and offers some thoughts about the use of this language by prison researchers. It focuses on the uses of such language in the context of disability studies and rights, and the focus on language by activists working to challenge systemic racism and abuse in prison systems in the 1960s and 1970s. It makes an argument for prison researchers to work intentionally with their use of language in keeping with broader disciplinary concerns around meaning making in prisons.

This book review is a beginning academic researcher's interpretation of the robust methods and rich data Ho presents in her study of investment banking culture and the market in Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street (2009). A unique contribution of the text is Ho's combining of ethnographic methods in order to practice polymorphous engagement in her study. A weakness of the text is Ho's lacking autoethnographic analysis of her experience as an Asian American woman on Wall Street. The book will be helpful for a scholarly audience interested in studying rigorous ethnographic methodologies and exploring the culture of Wall Street.

The racists effects of incarceration have been well documented, but less easily discernible are the continued racist intents that may be inscribed within contemporary criminal justice systems. Recent Supreme Court jurisprudence has increasingly marginalized claims that intentional racial discrimination exists in the criminal justice system. This article describes the ways that behavioral interventions used in juvenile justice systems are shaped by racist assumptions about reformability. It examines contemporary behavioral change interventions that conceptualize their ideal recipient as submissive, deferential, and responsible. Success in these programs, which can facilitate freedom from incarceration, requires submission to the rules. The author will argue that these behavior change interventions have been structured and informed by racialized forms of social control that have existed since slavery and which arguably have devastating consequences for the life chances of the thousands of black and brown young people who pass through juvenile facilities each year.

This article draws on research about young people's responses to being governed in secure residential facilities. It focuses on young people's expressions of agency as they 'do programme' in these facilities. It points to the ways that young people's language of choice and responsibility reflects their performances of 'programme' as they manage complicated emotions about change and growth. It is argued that there are various 'splits' that exist between official notions of programme compliance and those embodied and understood by young people. The article illuminates some of the more invisible pains experienced by young people in custody by revealing the intractability of the discourses of self-control in these young people's lives.

There are close to seven million people under correctional supervision in the United States, both in prison and in the community. The US criminal justice system is widely regarded as an inherently unmerciful institution by scholars and policymakers but also by people who have spent time in prison and their family members; it is deeply punitive, racist, expansive and damaging in its reach. In this article, we probe the meanings of mercy for the institution of parole.
