In the current project, we will evaluate animal-based prison farm programs, focusing on the benefits and challenges of operating agricultural practices in and alongside spaces of incarceration. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the prison farm program is experienced in spaces of incarceration, and how these factors affect the lives of program facilitators and active participants.

The proposed research will contribute to the development of criminological and geographical knowledge. We will study the range of ways prison farm programs positively and/or negatively shapes carceral spaces, and determine whether prison farm programs has reintegrative value for prisoner personal growth and skill development. The results will reveal how carceral geography comes into contact with personal, social, ecological factors, regional disparities, and local politics; and how prison farm programs is conceived in carceral spaces. Policy and social and environmental implications, including the benefits and challenges of prisoner employment within prison and upon release from prison, as well as the connections and distinctions between prisoner labour and animal labour, are anticipated from the results.
