A groundbreaking contribution to the study of non-theatrical film exhibition, 'Carceral Fantasies' shows how cinema found a home in the U.S. penitentiary system and how the prison emerged as a narrative trope in modern cinema. Focusing on films shown in prisons before 1935, the book explores the experience of viewing cinema while incarcerated and the complex cultural roots of cinematic renderings of prison life.
