Abstract
This paper considers the practical and theoretical invisibility of prisons and punishment in contemporary democratic states and modern democratic political theory. I argue that the prison's invisibility is a symptom of our democracy's “virtuality,” its tendency to operate without the full participation of its citizens and to project responsibility for risks onto politicians and experts.
