Topics covered include:- a history of imprisonment in America from 1600 to the present day;- the twentieth-century prison building binge;- the relationship between U.S. prisons and the private sector;- a critical account of capital punishment;- less-visible prison minorities, including women, children and the elderly; and- sex, violence and disease in prison.This comprehensive book is essential reading for advanced courses on corrections and correctional management and offers a compelling and provocative analysis of the realities of American penal culture from past to present.
