<span lang="EN-NZ" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%">Criminal justice movements organised around challenging the dentention of asylum seekers and migrants and Indigenous sovereign protests constitute radical interventions into the operation of state
power. Such movements demonstrate how racisms and racial discrimination fundamentally sustain state power and spatial practices of detention and exclusion of minority communities from public and civil life. Race is typically separated from the law and formal
criminal procedures because the abolition of explicitly racist policies prohibit discrimination on the basis of race. Critical scholarship on the prison industrial complex, settler colonialism and criminal justice advocates have all argued for the necessity
of viewing race and racisms as a central component of state power and its spatial regulation of minority communities (see Wilson Gilmore, 2007; Davis, 2003; Nash, 2011). A significant, but small, body of scholarship exists on the historical continuities between
the use of prisons and punishment on Indigenous peoples in the early phases of settler colonialism, expressed “in the form of political, social and economic
<i>neglect</i>” (Wadiwel, 2007, p. 166), and contemporary practices of detainment with respect to peoples of colour, migrants and asylum seekers. Other activist and scholarly work has pointed to the over-representation of First Nations peoples and communities
of colour in prison systems as tied to the maintenance of white and racialised systems of privilege alongside the sustenance of privatised security and surveillance economies (see Sudbury, 2002; Golash-Boza, 2009; Behrendt, Cunneen & Libesman, 2009). Sovereign
Indigenous movements and activism reveal important insights into dominant forms of geo-political state power and capitalism alongside the revelation of alternative community and political arrangements of welcome and social wellbeing for citizens and non-citizens.
By bringing questions of Indigenous sovereignty to bear on critiques and activism around the prison industrial complex, the conference and and workshops, aim to contribute Indigenous and decolonising approaches to anti-racist understandings and contestations
of state power as manifested through carceral practices of spatial management and exclusion of minority communities and peoples of colour.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
