		A carceral state is a state modelled on a prison.
		It is a form of, or a pre-requisite to, a police state.
		A current theorist of the carceral state is Steve Mann, "the first cyborg", who travels wearing digital recording and transmitting equipment all over the world including airports, shopping malls, demonstrations, etc., where recording of the authorities or guards is discouraged.

		In these ways the state, under the liberal and imperial capitalist order, has acted as both a legitimating source of simulated democracy (the due process paradigm through which private power was implemented against the proletariat by the overclass), and as the principle source of overt police-state activities (in the guise of national and personal security).
		However, the hegemonic capacity of the state is eroding in the post/hyper-modern context, its principle democratic functions are being delegitimated.
		Yet, at the same time the ruling class is dismantling democracy, it is intensifying the state surveillance- carceral function (it must in lieu of the pacifying force of social democracy and in the face of increasing crisis in the capitalist world-system -- this is the heart of all these fascistic transformations).

		It goes well beyond dictatorship or typical police state measures, and even beyond those measures required to sustain total war between states.
		State control of television, radio, and other mass media make it relatively easy for totalitarian regimes to make their presence felt, often through campaigns of propaganda or the creation of a vast personality cult.
		This is also called the carceral state — like a prison.

		Those measures are discussed in other articles on medical privacy, client confidentiality and national security - and to a degree in carceral state (where no privacy in any form nor limits on state oversight or data use exist).
		Accordingly concerns of consumer privacy in the United States have tended to go unheard as questions of citizen privacy versus the state, and the development of a police state or carceral state, have occupied advocates of strong privacy measures.
		Whereas it may have appeared prior to 2002 that commercial organizations and the consumer data they gathered were of primary concern, it has appeared since then in most developed nations to be much less of a concern than political privacy and medical privacy, e.g.

		Since the fall of the Nazi regime in Germany, many theorists in the United States and Western Europe have argued that similarities exist between the government of Nazi Germany and that of Stalin's Soviet Union.
		For him, totalitarian was the condition of the state in which all activities of civil society, inadvertently or not, ultimately lead to, and therefore perpetually exist in, something resembling a state, e.g., Statist Totalitarianism.
		The state is then an attempt to expand and magnify the every interest of its demographic as being reciprocal with the state to where their interests and actions belong to something higher than themselves.

		Beyond the stereotypic conceptualization of the U.S. prison as an insular, alienated institution residing at the edge of civil society, it is the set of relations entangled in the practice of imprisonment that foregrounds the prison as a mode of social organization.
		State terror is both contingent because it is dependent on particular relations of power and comprehensive as it folds back into itself and the people drawn into its sweep.
		State terror, as it inscribes a self-contained regime on imprisoned bodies and subjectivities, coerces a form of departure from the presumed "social" of social formation.

		It goes well beyond dictatorship or typical police state measures, and even beyond those measures required to sustain total war with other states.
		Personal survival is tied to the regime's survival, and thus the concept of the state and the people are merged.
		Michael Ledeen has advanced the theory that the role of the United States should be to impose by war the institutions it associates with democracy - waging what he calls total war to eradicate the prior society.

		It should first be noted that three strikes and other mandatory minimum sentencing rules mark a shift in the role of the extrademocratic state.
		While libertarians bemoan the intrusive role of the welfare state in the lives of a free citizenry, they are remarkably silent with regard to the role of criminal law enforcement, which they regard as necessary to the protection of private property and bodily security.
		Three strikes makes many feel good, both because as a society we are doing something about crime and because we need not confront the possibility that pervasive social violence and the perception of rising crime may be a function of pervasive social practices that nonrecidivists also engage in.

		The concept of Totalitarianism is a typology or ideal-type used by some political scientists to encapsulate the characteristics of a number of twentieth century regimes that mobilized entire populations in support of the state or an ideology.

		From opposite sides of the political spectrum, U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and Mao Zedong claimed that "peaceful evolution" toward capitalism was possible in the Soviet bloc.

		She examines penal practices as the state shifted from private leasing of convicts to publicly controlled county chain gangs.
		Using state prison records, she also measures changing rates of penitentiary admissions, the severity of sentences, and release rates for fls and whites.
		For example, while Myers is correct to suggest that in the late nineteenth century many of Georgia's fl convicts came from the cotton belt, it is not true that the state's growing cities left no "imprint on the population of convicts leased to private entrepreneurs"(2).

	Surveillance & Society Issue 3 Abstracts
		It treats Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany as paragons of modern totalitarianism that is characterized by the explicit use of an obligatory, comprehensive, ‘scientific’ ideology as a political tool of domination.
		Specific strategies of surveillance, dissolution of the self and obliteration of the “social” are highlighted to enable recognition of possible re-emergence of totalitarian practices in the current, technologically and politically transformed global universe.
		This paper examines writing by American prisoners from between 1890 and 1915, and argues that prisoners’ self-representations fit uneasily into the parameters of Foucault’s carceral state: prisoners ‘escaped’ through religion, generic writing that defied progressive individuality, and the ‘mirroring’ of their audiences values, fears, and identity.

		As fact, the prison is the place where individuals are deprived of their liberty; as a focus of power it is the place where individuals may be studied and transformed; as figure it stands.
		The cardinal rule of American penology, adapted from Beccaria's treatise "On Crimes and Punishments," stated that punishment had to be unavoidable, certain, and severe; said Beccaria, "See to it that the laws are clear and simple and that the entire force of a nation is united in their defense" (Rothman, p.

		At the beginning of this book I suggested that the power to place a man in solitary confinement is the ultimate manifestation of the state's carceral power over the individual.
		Some of the people who have read drafts of this book have argued that having documented the history and nature of the state's ultimate carceral power and having sought to demonstrate its illegitimacy, I should lend the weight of this book to the prison-abolition movement.
		Their argument is that while solitary confinement may be the worst case of the abuse of the keeper's authority and the worst case of the abuse of the human rights of the kept, those abuses characterize the very nature of imprisonment.

		In a totalitarian regime, the state controls nearly every aspect of the individual's life.
		In most cases, this has not taken the form of emphasising the alleged "economic" aspects of the two countries but of arguing that both Nazism and Stalinism represent forms of totalitarianism.
		Moreover, if humanity is separated into ostensibly "economic" classes (as Nazis agreed with communists on), then a practice of ostracizing, killing, or destroying such classes can not properly described as egalitarian even in theory, as the dead and shackled aren't likely to think highly of their established equality.

		Mercantilism is the economic theory holding that the prosperity of a nation depends upon its supply of capital and that the global volume of trade is unchangeable.
		The amount of capital, represented by bullion (amount of precious metal held by the state), is best increased through a favorable balance of trade with large exports and low imports.
		Mercantilism suggests that the government should advance these goals by playing an active, protectionist role in the economy by encouraging exports and discouraging imports, especially through the use of tariffs.

	Appendx 3 : Notes from the Outfield : Richard T. Ford
		This truth, now absorbed by the criminal justice system, has led not to a reexamination of prison as an institution, but instead to an intensification of its logic based on a new rationale: instead of reform, the goal of the new prison is simple quarantine.
		But because the carceral state (which, it must again be emphasized, employs a host of nominally private actors) includes not only the explicitly criminal population but also entails a regulation of the law abiding, one can observe a similar logic in the structure of urban geography in its ordering of populations.
		But just as the use of prison for reform purposes was a failure, instead producing ever more crime, the segregation or isolation of populations in carceral structures is likely to produce increasing levels of violence and fear.

		In "The Birth of the Clinic: An Archaeology of Medical Perception", 1963, Foucault extended his critique to all of modern scientific medicine, arguing for the central conceptual metaphor of "The Gaze", which had implications for medical education, prison design, and the carceral state as understood today.
		Concepts of criminal justice and its intersection with medicine were better developed in this work than in Ssasz and others who confined their critique to current psychiatric practice.
		Accordingly, a cognitive bias had been introduced unwittingly into science, by over-trusting the individual doctor or scientist's ability to see and state things objectively.

		Uncertainty about who supported what measure, and the right to keep one's opinion to oneself and not be required to reveal it except voluntarily (such as by joining a political party or answering opinion polls), aren't generally challenged even by the most strident national security advocates.
		In this sense, supporters and detractors of the state have a common position: when operating within the existing legal bounds of a political system, opinions should be measured only in aggregate.
		Most privacy advocates view such measures as typical of a carceral state - where the state itself knows everything, and there is neither political nor consumer privacy nor even much medical privacy - a special concern is the gathering of biometrics.

		In the United States, this is the explicit rationale for public education - to ensure the United States Constitution is upheld by citizens who must, at least, know what it is.
		Of special concern are the choice of a form of government and (if this is any form of democracy) the design of an electoral system and ongoing electoral reform.
		Civics was often simply concerned with the balance of power between say an aristocracy and monarchy - a concern echoed to this day in the struggles for power between different levels of rulers - say of the weaker nation-states to establish a binding international law that will have an effect even on the stronger ones.
