Abstract:
"This book deals with a subject that is most timely - the United States today incarcerates more people than any other industrialized country in the world. The incarceration rate is growing rapidly, and minorities are disproportionately represented among correctional populations. This book provides a comprehensive examination of who the inmates are and what prison does to them, and places it in a historical context with the use of both recent and older research on the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
