Supply Chain Justice

The book provides a critical examination of the UK's immigration detention and deportation system, portraying it as a dehumanizing supply chain that reduces individuals to mere commodities. Through extensive ethnographic research, Mary Bosworth reveals how private sector security personnel manage detainees like packages, influenced by bureaucratic metrics and financial incentives. The analysis highlights the normalization of this logistics approach among workers while questioning the potential for more inclusive systems that prioritize human dignity over efficiency and profit.
