摘要：This article examines represent ations of prisoners and prison staff from 45 penal tourism sites across Ca nad a. D raw i ng fro m l iteratu re o n repres entati on s o f c ri mi na l ju sti ce, we d emon strate th at the objec ts, sign s, and symbolism in thes e her itage s ites are curated in ways t hat ca n create sepa ration between pe - nal spectators and prisoners. Positive representations of prison staff stand in contrast to depictions of prisoners who a re often demon iz ed in museum displays through empha sis placed on narratives, relics, and images of danger and violence. Arguing that these depictions generate condit ions for t he support and justification of punitive practices including incarceration, we conclude by reflecting on what our findings add to social science literature on representations of captives and captors.
