A Quantum Elephant in the Room-an Entangled Hauntology of Prison
Abstract
This is a post-humanist exploration into the quantum ontology of entanglement as a force that moves through prisons and their occupants. It postulates that quantum entanglement is the prime cause of affective energy transmission. It investigates quantum entanglement in sites of traumatic contamination and queries whether emotional residue is in fact, entangled particles left by traumatised people. It explores ideas around lived experience, quantum mechanics, affect and emotional residues, sympathetic magic, critical criminology and transformative criminology. Ultimately it questions the treatment of our most marginalised and postulates that criminology needs to work harder to ensure better outcomes for people at the mercy of our current systems of justice.
