Punishment and the Prison

"While there are books on prison and others on punishment, there are few that relate these two important themes. That is the central purpose of this multi-disciplinary volume, which connects prison practices with punishment theories in order to highlight the manner in which each society's ethos and politico-cultural traditions are reflected in the way it punishes it offenders.". "Constituting an insightful examination of the theoretical and praxiological problems surrounding prisons and punishment, this unusual volume will be of interest to those in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, penology, public administration, sociology, social work and human rights."--BOOK JACKET.
