To Be a Migrant, Refugee, Asylum Seeker, and Prisoner in EU Countries
To Be a Migrant, Refugee, Asylum Seeker, and Prisoner in EU Countries

This is the English translation of an article first published in Turkish in 2021.
The text examines the disproportionate incarceration of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in EU member states, based on data from Eurostat and the Council of Europe.
It highlights the gap between foreign nationals’ share of the general population and their overrepresentation in prison populations, pointing to structural inequality within European criminal justice systems.

AKP, criminalization and the Republic of ‘Campus’ Prisons
AKP, criminalization and the Republic of ‘Campus’ Prisons

This article examines the expansion and transformation of Turkey’s prison system under the rule of the AKP government, with a particular focus on the emergence of large-scale “campus prisons.” It analyzes the political logic behind mass incarceration, the spread of solitary confinement practices, and the construction of high-security facilities. Framing imprisonment as a tool of social control and political repression, the article situates recent prison policies within the broader dynamics of authoritarianism and criminalization in contemporary Turkey.
