Abstract
Punishment is not only meted out in custodial institutions. It is also inflicted on ‘free’ individuals who experience harsh material conditions, violent institutional control or punitive responses to their political views and actions. This paper addresses punishment beyond the prison walls, where a variety of counter-hegemonic identities are moulded and where radical approaches to punishment are gestated. The argument is made that the abolitionist movement may find among those identities a range of potential allies for its campaigns. Key allies may also be found among community development activists and programmes.
