DESCRIPTION:Gabriela Kirk-Werner (Syracuse University) will present\, "Refo
 rming the Shadow Carceral State: the Repeal of Prison Pay-to-Stay Laws in 
 Illinois" as part of the CPR Seminar Series.Abstract:Punishment scholars\n
 have theorized why\, how\, and when lawmakers advocate for reforming the c
 arceral\nstate through criminal legal change. What remains less understood
  are the same\nprocesses as they pertain to reforming the shadow carceral 
 state\, which\nrequires change at the&nbsp\;intersections of criminal\, ci
 vil\, and\nadministrative legal systems. This article interrogates this pu
 zzle by\nexamining the repeal of prison pay-to-stay laws in the United Sta
 tes.\nPay-to-stay refers to the practice of charging incarcerated individu
 als per\ndiem fees for the cost of their criminal incarceration in jails a
 nd/or prisons\,\nwith jurisdictions mobilizing civil and administrative la
 w to recoup unpaid\nfees. Pay-to-stay’s contemporary use exemplifies polic
 ies endemic to the shadow\ncarceral state. We draw on a novel dataset on p
 rison pay-to-stay in Illinois\nconsisting of legislative debates\, state s
 tatutes\, and civil lawsuit case\nfiles.&nbsp\;Our historical sociological
  analysis suggests lawmakers who\nadvocated for reforming the shadow carce
 ral state by repealing prison\npay-to-stay repurposed penal logics they ha
 d once used punitively\, such as\nprotecting taxpayers\, fiscal efficiency
 \, and rehabilitation. Lawmakers\nadvocating in this manner used this stra
 tegy to position their state as a\nbi-partisan leader in the governing bal
 ance between protecting the welfare of\nits citizenry and attending to sta
 te fiscal austerity. Their advocacy took\nplace amidst public political de
 bates over the utility of pay-to-stay in\nIllinois\, with critics pointing
  to the excessive harm caused to incarcerated individuals\,\nthe high cost
  taxpayers\, and the impact on rehabilitation.
