A groundbreaking contribution to the study of non-theatrical film exhibition, Carceral Fantasies tells the story of how cinema found a home in the U.S. penitentiary system and how the prison emerged as a setting and narrative trope. Focusing on films shown before 1935, the book explores the experience of viewing cinema while incarcerated.
