Document Summary
Ideology unified system of beliefs that gives meaning to our actions. Slavery (in the open, though human trafficking still exists, and the enslavement of prisoners is still allowed in the us under the constitution) Asylums (though places such as the royal ottawa still exist) The notion that the workplace is only for men (though we still have gendered problems in the workforce) Matheisen engages with all of these ideas and argues that they are not realized in practiced as much as they are supposed to, aka prisons are not doing the very things they are supposed to do. Action function (when the state cannot do something about the economy, engaging in cjs reforms, etc. , it at least shows that the state is doing something, still has purpose) Creates an us vs. them division, and therefore produces solidarity. What demands by the demand prison change initiative would you argue are reformist.
