N2 - This chapter begins with a discussion of our work on the closure of HMP Holloway, London, and our decarceral feminist principles that have emerged from a critical analysis of the UK's prison system, particularly the incarceration of women. It details how authors have developed decarceral feminist methodologies that centralise an ethics of care and practice of reflection and that seek to generate, utilise and take notice of affect. In order to generate new insights that might prompt a meaningful societal response to women's imprisonment and the harms it exacerbates and produces, the authors argue for the use of reflexive, feminist methodologies that can generate abolitionist affect. The chapter focuses on how the authors developed this approach through archival work and site visits.
