Prison and Social Death

Informationen zum Autor Price, Joshua M Klappentext The US imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation in the world. To be sentenced to prison is to face systematic violence, humiliation, and separation from family and community. In Prison and Social Death, Joshua Price exposes the unexamined cost that prisoners pay while incarcerated and after release, drawing upon hundreds of often harrowing interviews conducted with people in prison, parolees, and their families.
