Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction: Incarceration and Regime Change -- Chapter 1 ‘Gloomy Dungeons’: Provisional Prisons in Madrid in the Aftermath of the Spanish Civil War (1939–45) -- Chapter 2 Paradoxical Outcomes? Incarceration, War and Regime Changes in Italy, 1943–54 -- Chapter 3 Life in the Frontstalags: Colonial Prisoners of War in Occupied France, 1940–42 -- Chapter 4 Containing ‘Potentially Subversive’ Subjects: The Internment of Supporters of the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands Indies, 1940–46 -- Chapter 5 The Detention of Social Outsiders between Social Reform, Annihilation and Custody: The Municipal Workhouse and Prison of Berlin-Rummelsburg from Weimar Republic to GDR -- Chapter 6 A Triumph for the Protectional Model? How Belgian Institutions for Delinquent Children Dealt with Young Collaborators (1944–50) -- Chapter 7 The Ambiguities of Gendarmeries’ Relationship to Internment around World War II (Belgium, France, the Netherlands) -- Afterword: An Essay on Space and Time -- Index
Summary: Political instability is nearly always accompanied by fuller prisons, and this was particularly true during the “long” Second World War, when military mobilization, social disorder, wrenching political changes, and shifting national boundaries swelled the ranks of the imprisoned and broadened the carceral reach of the state. This volume brings together theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich studies of key transitional moments that transformed the scope and nature of European prisons during and after the war. It depicts the complex interactions of both penal and administrative institutions with the men and women who experienced internment, imprisonment, and detention at a time when these categories were in perpetual flux.
