One such trip considers the pasts and futures of two adjacent parcels of land, currently agricultural fields that are slated for redevelopment.

Here, I consider the governing logic that links Distribution Centers and Detention Centers as midstream warehousing in global just-in-time supply chains – applied to commodities and globalized labor.
