Abstract: The foster care system is not absolved from its role and complicity in the expansion of the shadow carceral state in the U.S. Educational researchers and social scientists alike concerned with the academic, social, and life outcomes and experiences of Black youth in foster care and other racially/ethnically minoritized groups must broaden the aperture in their work to account for the ways which carceral logics permeate the multiple marginalizing structures and systems in which they are positioned.
