"Politics of (En)closure: Deinstitutionalization, Disability, and Prison Abolition argues that a complex understanding of disability is fundamental to an understanding of decarceration. Many argue that the rise of deinstitutionalization led directly to the rise of imprisonment. Liat Ben-Moshe complicates this narrative by looking closely at how people of color and disabled people are pathologized as well as how profit plays a roll in caring for "disposable" populations in nursing homes, rehab facilities, prisons, etc. Ben-Moshe puts forth a theory of carceral abolition as a way to understand the failed utopian dream of deinstitutionalization and how to move forward"--

Dass Filme uns in künstlich erschaffene Welten versetzen, ist eine Binsenweisheit. Obwohl jedoch deren Realität zunächst neben unserer alltäglichen Wirklichkeit existiert, bestätigen die Sozialwissenschaften im gleichen Atemzug, dass filmisch inszenierte Geschichte das Denken und Urteilen von Menschen heute beträchtlich zu lenken und zu beeinflussen vermag.
