| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: This thesis examines the use of state prison labor by nonprofit organizations in Maryland in order to examine how the subjects and discourses are shaped through the collaboration of nonprofits and prisons and the way that these institutions are impacted in the process. Institutional ethnography is leveraged as an analytic framework through which analysis of interviews and documents was conducted. Document analysis and interviews showed that the nonprofit prison labor collaboration is shaping the operations of both the prison system and its nonprofit partners, allowing the former to project a progressive public image while garnering resources for the latter. By examining nonprofit prison labor, this research calls for a renewed focus on the centrality of labor to carceral institutions in carceral and abolition scholarship. | |
