Beyond Death and Jail explores death and the institutional machinery of policing, surveillance, and containment which breeds it. It seeks to explain why homicide, accompanied by an apparatus of jails, detention centers, prisons, and criminal courts haunts segments of America's Black population, Black boys, Black male youth, and Black men.
