Abstract State violence reverberates far beyond its situated enactment. It becomes an intrusive part of the minds and bodies of those who are subjected to it. Relived long after the (repetitive) act itself has ceased, it nestles into memories, joints and ligaments, nightmares and pits of churning stomachs. Carceral control leaches on these after-effects to live on, permeating people’s bodies and decisions by way of the fear, paranoia and stress that persist alongside the direct physical, social and economic consequences of detention.
