While at IAS, Rachel Weil will research a book about detention in early modern England, reconstructing contestations over the treatment of people (debtors, political suspects, persons awaiting trial) imprisoned for reasons other than having been convicted of a crime and historicizing the complex relationship of detention to punishment.
