Descriere
The
two-volumeEncyclopedia
of
Prisons
and
Correctional
Facilitiesaims
to
provide
a
critical
overview
of
penal
institutions
within
a
historical
and
contemporary
framework.
The
United
States
has
the
highest
incarceration
rate
in
the
world;
a
fact
that
has
caused
lawmakers
and
legal
professionals
to
rethink
punishment
policies
as
well
as
develop
new
policies
on
prisoner
education
and
rehabilitation.
Issues
of
race,
gender,
and
class
are
fully
integrated
throughout
in
order
to
demonstrate
the
complexity
of
the
implementation
and
intended
results
of
incarceration.
The
encyclopedia
will
also
contain
biographies,
articles
describing
important
legal
statutes,
as
well
as
detailed
and
authoritative
descriptions
of
the
major
prisons
in
the
United
States.
Comparative
data
and
examples
are
employed
to
analyze
the
America
system
within
an
international
context.
