This paper focuses on the 'postnational viewpoint' to the American notion of sovereignty and membership. The author defines what postnational viewpoint is and explains it means the view that a universal model of membership is replacing national citizenship and is doing so because it is anchored within deterritorialized concepts of persons' rights. Essentially this means there is a respect for global human rights norms leading to a "deterritorialized membership." This is important to consider when comparing the states of prisons in Russia and the United States because the rights of prisoners may reach a form of universal expression in that everyone gets treated in a way that people deem appropriate regardless of location.

This article details the prevalence of cigarette smoking among incarcerated adults citing the quantity being twice as much as the non-incarcerated population. Interestingly, whites were shown in the study to smoke more than their black counterparts. This study shows an important facet of the prison system in relation to health and stress. White prison adult prison inmates are more likely to smoke than any other prison population group. Although exclusion of incarcerated black men could result in a minor underestimation, the smoking prevalence signals a need for smoking cessation support among those incarnated in American prisons and other correctional facilities.
