This new edition of a longstanding, successful textbook explores the complex issues necessary to understand and reform the prison system.

  • Draws from both ethnographic and professional material, and situates the prison experience within both contemporary and historical contexts
  • Features first person accounts from prisoners and staff - both men and women - explaining what it’s like to live and work in prison, and in doing so brings the issues alive for students
  • Includes brand new extensive chapters on prison reform, and on supermax correctional facilities - including research on confinement, long-term segregation, and death row
  • Explores topics including the nature of prison as punishment; prisoner personality types and their coping strategies; gang violence; prison officers’ public and private custodial duties; and psychological, educational, and work programs offered
  • Develops policy recommendations for the future based on qualitative and quantitative research and evidence-based initiatives
