Journal of Prisoners on Prisons V11 #1 & 2

Klappentext Over two million people are now incarcerated in the U.S.- a four-fold increase since 1980. Why, with violent crime on the decrease, are prison rates rising so rapidly? The prison industry is now the second-largest employer in the U.S. after General Motors. In this issue of the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons , U.S. and Canadian authors speak from jail to the effects of the prison-industrial complex, and to the distorted social values that it both feeds and feeds upon.
