"So-called enemy penology is the invention of a German professor of criminal law. It is a programme asserting itself as a strategy for solving contemporary security problems; it also assumes its place among developments that should be seen in the national as well as in the international area of criminal justice and security policy. These developments provoke a transformation of the constitutional state, challenging its hitherto valid principles and rearranging the relation between violence and right. This transformation occurs surreptitiously, since the security strategies promoting it do not appear violent, but, instead, preventive. Enemy penology is exemplary of prevailing tendencies in security policies, going all the way to Guantánamo."
