We live in a world defined by prisons, both literal and metaphorical, where dissenters and criminals alike can be confined for decades, have their lives ruined, or reduced to nothing, to an hour of sunlight a day. A world in which we fight our own internal wardens and guards, whether living with Covid confinements, the solitude of the chronically ill and disabled, or the literal prison of poverty, one’s choices reduced to bitterness. As novelist Elias Khoury has articulated, much of the Arab world and its contemporary literature can be defined by the prison experience — by the depredations of the state, torture, and martyrdom. Likewise, in the west, particularly in the US, the prison-industrial complex plays an outsized role in the lives of millions who are incarcerated—and forever marks those who love them.
