Abstract

This is a story of a U.S. Midwest college town’s movements to build bigger and better jails. It is a story of losing resistance to building a jail in 1986 to broadening resistance to a newer and bigger “justice campus,” which has stalled. It emerges that the biggest contributor to current jail population is non-bailable revocation of suspended sentences on technicalities that do not in themselves constitute crimes.
