Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-28 00:00:00 Alex White The most thorough discussion of prisons that I've ever read; very interesting. The book is too detailed for me to really do it justice in a review (and also because I've forgotten it all since I read it), so I'll just say that if you have any interest in the history of incarceration at all, you'll find this enlightening.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-22 00:00:00 Per-ivar Ruud i read this for a thesis i did about the criminal justice system. needless to say i am very against the current institution. it needs to be drastically change. and i hope someday to be apart of the change
