People in Cold Storage: The Cruel Limbos of Historical and Current Detainees in the United States.
- Authors
Flores, Lori A.
- Abstract
By the 1980s the U.S. had not only become a nation of mass incarceration, Young argues, but mass immigrant incarceration. Ending with the case of a Central American woman haunted by a crime in her California youth that triggered her deportation a decade later and the separation from her U.S.-born children, Young illustrates the plight of numerous mixed-immigration-status families in America. Elliott Young, Forever Prisoners: How the United States Made the World's Largest Immigrant Detention System. Structurally, through "select granular experiences of detention" that cross time, space, and different foreign populations, Young shows readers how America "built the world's largest system for imprisoning immigrants" (p. 3).
