This is the story of Lincoln prison.\" In her Introduction, Sabina E. Vaught passionately details why the subject of prisons and prison schooling is so important. An unprecedented institutional ethnography of race and gender power in one state's juvenile prison school system, \u003ci\u003eCompulsory\u003c\/i\u003e will have major implications for public education everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVaught argues that through its educational apparatus, the state disproportionately removes young Black men from their homes and subjects them to the abuses of captivity. She explores the various legal and ideological forces shaping juvenile prison and prison schooling, and examines how these forces are mechanized across multiple state apparatuses, not least school. Drawing richly on ethnographic data, she tells stories that map the repression of rightless, incarcerated youth, whose state captivity is the contemporary expression of age-old practices of child removal and counterinsurgency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a theoretically rigorous analysis of the daily experiences of prisoners, teachers, state officials, mothers, and more, \u003ci\u003eCompulsory\u003c\/i\u003e provides vital insight into the broad compulsory systems of schooling--both Inside prison and in the world Outside--asking readers to reconsider conventional understandings of the role, purpose, and value of state schooling today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sabina E.
