Inside America's Prisons
From
Correction to Retribution
By JUSTIN E.H. SMITH
Michel Foucault's account of the emergence of
the modern penal system, Discipline
and Punish: the Birth of the Prison, is already hopelessly
outdated. Not, however, because it has been superceded by a sharper
analysis employing a more fruitful method, but because the penal
system, at least in the United States and Great Britain, has
fundamentally changed as an institution since Foucault's study
was first published in 1975. Foucault had been critical of the
humanistic veneer with which we once made the urge to punish
more palatable to our bourgeois consciences, since punishment,
revenge, cruelty were at the end of the day hardwired into our
wills-to-power and so, offensive to bourgeois sensibilities or
not, ineradicable. Feel-good humanism had led to the proliferation
of institutions ostensibly dedicated not to physical unpleasantness,
but to the correction of these inmates' wayward natures. The
science of deviance, as distinct from the moralistic judgment
of deviants, flourished. Foucault plausibly maintained that,
as a consequence of the humanizing drive in Western penal systems,
the cruelty only became more subtle: the punishers quit torturing
the body and went to work instead on the soul. But no matter.
They meant well.
Since the 1970s, in any case, the humanistic
veneer has been scraped off, and we have returned to what Foucault,
and Nietzsche before him, might consider a much more forthright
reckoning of how we really feel about all those ne'er-do-wells:
the rapists and the murderers and the bank robbers; and the petty
drug dealers and the petty drug users and the poor. And in the
United States we now have a penal system undergoing rapid growth,
whose primary mission is to separate ne'er-do-wells from the
rest of society and, to the extent possible under vestigial humanistic
laws, to make this experience unpleasant.
In The
Culture of Control: Crime and Social Order in Contemporary Society
(University of Chicago Press, 2001), David Garland has written
an archeology of the penal system for this most recent Anglo-American
fin de siècle. He argues that the shift from correction
to retribution can only be understood by looking at broader societal
changes in the latter half of the 20th century, rather than trying
to trace the new form of the prison back to developments in the
fields of criminology and penology. Indeed, at just the time
that the shift from correctionalism to punitive sentencing occurred,
criminology was at its most radical, with prominent theorists
in the field questioning the reality of the category of deviance
altogether. Criminology broadly construed, we may see Foucault
himself as representative of this trend.
The shift in broad public opinion that
did not occur in narrow academic criminology was from concern
for the criminal to concern for the victim. It was assumed that
recognition of victims' rights required a simultaneous diminution
of concern for criminals' rights. This position was clearly expressed
by Joseph Lieberman on the 2000 campaign trail: "The liberal,
criminal rights-oriented theories I took with me from law school
ran smack into the reality of violent crime and street crime
in my Hew Haven neighborhood. I knew people who were victims
of violent crime and muggings; my house was broken into twice.
Fear of crime was constricting freedom and stifling growth. So
I began to propose tougher criminal laws, including the death
penalty, and to focus more on victims' rights and expedited criminal
procedures."
What I find most odd about the retributivist,
take-back-New-Haven position defended by Lieberman -for votes,
to be sure, for votes- is not that it reverts back to an ends-blind
vengefulness the Western world had gradually been overcoming
since the Enlightenment. No, it was remarkable that we ever thought
to strive to overcome this approach to transgressors in the first
place. What is odd about the current situation is that true
poetic or Hammurabic revenge remains, at least for the moment,
out of the question, and the closest thing to retribution for,
say, rape, allowed by law is to force the rapist to sit in a
small room for a long time. Even if we may plausibly believe
in revenge, the default setting of justice throughout the vastly
greater part of human history, we may wonder what strange sort
of cosmos would be set back in order through the simple incarceration
of a violent criminal. The retributivists are constrained, at
present, to work within the limits of a criminal justice system
that emerged as a result of the humanistic, correctionalist ideology
prevalent in Western society prior to the triumph of retributivism.
And what we are left with, after thirty or so years of victim's
rights, Megan's Law, the Brady Bill, and other such efflorescences
of tough-on-crime populism, is an utterly senseless state of
affairs, satisfactory to no one, in which politicians win votes
by piling petty criminals on top of one another, for no other
reason than to satisfy popular demand, in institutions that continue
to be called 'correctional', but that in fact have no idea what
their true purpose is, vacillating between the residual utopian
good intentions of a bygone era and the sense that their purpose
is to be tough, even as the law prohibits outright corporal punishment
and other violations of human rights.
I worked for a time as a volunteer writing
teacher at the Warren Correctional Institution, a maximum security
prison in Lebanon, Ohio. The warden gave me a tour on my first
day. He beamed with what I took to be genuine pride at the 'campus
layout' of the prison. It was not a blocky, grey prison, as I
had imagined all prisons are, as I had seen in movies. It did
indeed look like a campus, with rolling green hills and clusters
of dormitories (i.e., cell blocks), and central buildings that
contained the cafeteria, the school, the barber shop. The warden
assured me it was one of the most progressive prisons in the
state. But he seemed to measure progressiveness in terms of the
quality of the prisoners' stay, rather than in terms of the prison's
capacity to set the inmates out, upon release, into a life of
greater options and autonomy than their life prior to incarceration.
This is what true correction would be. For all its progressiveness,
the warden did not seem able to conceive of the prison as anything
more than a holding bin.
Then there was Doc. Doc was the director
of educational programs at the prison. He had earned a doctorate
in education somewhere in Kentucky. (My Ph.D. in philosophy from
Columbia, apparently, did not warrant a similar honorific. I
didn't press the issue.) Doc liked being called 'Doc' by the
inmates. Doc needed to be in a position in this world where he
could be held in high esteem by people who had never had the
opportunity to figure out that, as a person, there was really
nothing superior about him, nothing exceptional, or even noteworthy,
other than an odd habit of inserting 'take' between modal verbs
and those they accompany in most of his sentences: You're gonna
have to take and put all the metal you have in your pockets into
that bin there before you go through the machine and Travis here
gets you with the wand.
And there was the rest of the school
staff, there just to receive their subsistence-level paychecks.
One of the instructors in the school seemed nonplussed that I
was volunteering to teach while she was forced to eke out an
existence doing the same. She thought me naïve for believing
I could, as they say, make a difference. And rightly. My volunteer
work was desirable to the prison administrators because higher
SAT scores from the prisoners would improve the ranking of the
prison within the state sytem and, I presume, result in a larger
piece of the state's funding pie. Nothing, I should add, in the
phrasing of the prison's 'facility mission' would suggest that
the school served any purpose beyond fund-raising. The purpose
of the prison, evidently its exhaustive purpose, as we learn
from its website, is "to achieve the correctional goal of
effective supervision of adult offenders in a setting that is
safe and humane for both adult offenders and the institutional
staff who work with them." One might wonder what could
plausibly be considered 'correctional' about safe, humane supervision.
Safety and humanity might be among the conditions of possibility
of correction, but this does not mean they are themselves correctional.
Students were shuffled in and out of my class; I seldom saw
the same student more than two or three times. When I asked why
a particular student had not shown up, I was told he couldn't
attend for disciplinary reasons, or that he had had a hearing
to go to. The students themselves, for their part, didn't trust
me. They assumed I was trying to bend and shape them for my own
interests, just like everyone else in that massive enterprise.
For doing good, too, is a sort of bending and shaping, and it
rightly irks the fellow not open to having good done to him.
I quit after a few months.
But I've failed to tell of the guard
in charge of orientation. Barrel- chested and flat-topped, with
memorabilia about his desk announcing connoisseurship of southwest
Ohio's woodlands and their fauna, it was his job to drill in
some harsh realities about prison life before setting me loose
among the inmates. Impatient with the mountain of forms I had
to initial -by which I promised that I would not bring contraband
in or out, that I would not receive or give sexual favors to
any of the inmates, nor (what appeared indistinguishable from
sexual relations from the point of view of the rule-makers) would
I develop any 'personal' relations with the inmates- impatient
with all this, the guard quickly became fed up and, summarizing
the real import of all the paperwork for me, barked: "No
fucking, no sucking, that's it! Is that clear?"
While casual sex with prisoners is for
obvious reasons a bad idea, this prohibition, and its emphasis,
helped to drive home for me just how odd our current system of
punishment is. Corporal punishment, it occurred to me, is only
in some very narrow sense prohibited. For the body can be punished
more subtly than by blows, and even Foucault, as a good materialist,
would agree that there is simply no other way to get at the 'soul'
than through the body and its five senses. Exposure, to take
a limit case, involves no beating, but it does not allow the
body what it needs: protection from the elements. Solitary confinement
in a dark dungeon involves no beating, but it withholds light
and contact and is most unhealthy.
I now see no reason to treat the relative
confinement, for the most part not solitary, characteristic of
the modern penal system as fundamentally of a different character
than exposure to the elements or rotting in a dungeon. It is
a difficult thing to distinguish between need and desire. Does
the body in a dungeon need a bit of sunlight, or just crave it?
How this question is answered might depend very much on whether
it is the jailer or the prisoner who is asked. Evidently, the
bodies of the prisoners at Warren weren't getting what they,
the way they saw things, needed. How else to explain the tremendous
effort to suppress any potential furtive blowjobs between that
queer (in, at least, the old-fashioned sense) volunteer from
out of town and our perpetually horny charges?
I dwell on this only because one could
easily get the impression from such an orientation session that
the primary mission of an American prison, whatever mission it
may openly announce, is to keep its inmates from getting off
as they would if left to their own devices. And it is worth asking
why such a project continues. In my view, it continues because
deprivation, or at least the kind that isn't immediately, clearly
harmful to the body, is the only kind of corporal punishment
still an option after the humanistic reforms of the early 20th
century. You cannot starve a man, and you cannot beat him, but
you can give him blueballs, and you can decide when he sits in
darkness, and when he will be exposed to light. In the early
20th century this deprivation was, legitimately or not, conceived
as part of a correctional program, a disciplinary regime, in
Foucault's language. Now it is just deprivation, straining, it
would seem, to return to overt brutality.
