ABSTRACT The traveling exhibition States of Incarceration: A National Dialogue of Local Histories explores the past, present, and future of mass incarceration in the United States through the lens of local narratives, events, and historic and/or contemporary sites. Over 500 students from 20 universities worked together to stimulate a national dialog focused on how mass incarceration has shaped the social definitions of citizenship, criminality, confinement, and economy. As each university investigated a local example of one of these themes and its effect on their nearby community, 16 graduate students from Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis (IUPUI), supported by Indiana Humanities and the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute, used a wide variety of research methods to study the history of confinement and mental illness in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through site visits, theoretical studies, interviews with people involved in the criminal justice and mental healthcare systems, archival research, and community partnerships, our research question, asking why prisons have become the nation’s mental healthcare facilities, began to take shape.

暴露交叉性：对美国心理健康和监禁的反思

摘要巡回展览“监禁状态：地方历史的全国对话”通过地方叙事、事件以及历史和/或当代遗址的镜头探索了美国大规模监禁的过去、现在和未来。来自 20 所大学的 500 多名学生共同发起了一场全国对话，重点讨论大规模监禁如何影响公民、犯罪、监禁和经济的社会定义。由于每所大学都调查了这些主题之一的当地例子及其对附近社区的影响，印第安纳大学 - 普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校 (IUPUI) 的 16 名研究生在印第安纳人文学院和 IUPUI 艺术与人文学院的支持下，使用多种研究方法来研究印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯的监禁和精神疾病的历史。通过实地访问、理论研究、与刑事司法和精神保健系统相关人员的访谈、档案研究和社区合作，我们的研究问题，即为什么监狱已成为国家的精神保健设施，开始形成。
