Description
The UK's immigration detention and deportation system is a complex, outsourced system that treats individuals as mere commodities in a supply chain. In "Supply Chain Justice", Mary Bosworth examines this system through extensive ethnographic research, revealing how it dehumanises those detained and deported. The system's reliance on private sector security employees, who are paid to detain, circulate, and deport foreign national citizens, raises questions about the role of bureaucracy and administrative processes in shaping our understanding of humanity. Bosworth's analysis sheds light on the ways in which the system's failure is managed, with a focus on apportioning financial value to risks and failures. Through her research, Bosworth challenges the notion that this system can be viewed as a mere logistics operation, instead highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the complex power dynamics at play.
