The Crisis of Imprisonment

- Protest, Politics, and the Making of the American Penal State, 1776-1941

Om The Crisis of Imprisonment

America's prison-based system of punishment has not always enjoyed the widespread political and moral legitimacy it has today. Unearthing fresh evidence from prison and state archives, McLennan shows how, in each of three distinct periods of crisis, widespread dissent culminated in the dismantling of old systems of imprisonment.
