Description

The book explores the interrelation between carceral conditions and substance use by considering the intersections between drug markets, sidewalks, households, and prisons in Baltimore.

Sanaullah Khan argues that while housing, medicalization, and incarceration fundamentally create the conditions for substance use, individuals are increasingly experiencing the paradoxes of care and punishment and forging new pharmaceutical selves.

By shedding light on how addiction and the impetus for healing moves through families and institutions of the state, Khan provides an account of the different and competing forces around substance use, recovery, and relapse.

Through a combination of archival research and ethnography, the book makes a case for disentangling recovery from punishment.
