Hello! Wanted to know anyone from the fields of humanities/history who is researching on the history of penal practices and punishments in colonial settings (18/19th and 20th centuries)?
It would be great if you could suggest some basic readings related to colonial prisons (better if it is linked to colonial South Asia- I am not interested in works that discuss penal transportation and penal colonies) and name some historians who specialize in these topics.
Also what are the major trends/heavily researched questions in penal history in present day academia?
