Applying Rusche and Kirchheimer's theory regarding labor markets and penal change, this paper examines recent initiatives to expand the labor force participation of federal and state prisoners. Globalization and labor market transformation have increased the potential value of prison labor as a subcontracting component of post‐Fordist production systems. We examine privatization's ideological rationale (economic "cost benefits") and its political strategy of foreign job repatriation. Based on cultural and economic factors, the South is identified as the probable locale for "repatriation." A case study of Escod Industries reveals the emerging elements of a post‐Fordist penology, involving a fundamental transformation in prison discourse, techniques, and management objectives.

According to Poveda, conventional thinking about crime is fundamentally based in what Sue Titus Reid called the 'dualistic fallacy' -- the assumption that a dichotomy exists between criminals and noncriminals. Poveda's first order of business is to critically examine the myths of 'the criminal type' and 'the law-abiding citizen.' These myths basically correspond to class and race, and deflect our attention from the harms committed by the socially and economically powerful. Characterizations of 'career criminals' are as old as the study of criminology. The many variants extend from Lombroso's 'criminal man' physical type to Wilson and Herrnstein's recent biosocial theory on crime and human nature, but they all point to the poor as a 'dangerous class.' Those who fall outside the stereotype, despite the harm their actions cause, are somehow viewed as not 'real' criminals. As an antidote to this delusion, Poveda concludes his opening chapter with a short but convincing comparison of conventional and white-collar crime in terms of property loss and personal injury. The myths of the criminal type and the law-abiding majority together function as a sort of 'master myth,' from which a cluster of subsidiary myths serves to 'explain away' as exceptional those especially egregious white-collar crimes that come to public attention. Chapter 2 analyzes three case studies of the most common rationalizations: 'accidents,' 'isolated episodes,' and 'rotten apples.' The 'rotten apples' explanation is usually applied to scandals involving civil servants -teachers, judges, police -- and other professionals, especially doctors and lawyers. For his case study, Poveda chooses police corruption.
