The goal is to explore how Islamic law might respond, react, embrace, or reject mass incarceration and its associated topics. Papers might explore theories of punishment in Islamic law, juristic responses to the rise of prisons, notions of disparate treatment in sentencing, the role of race, challenges of overcriminalization, and so on.
