Power on the Inside is the first book to examine the historical
development of prison gangs worldwide, from those that emerged
inside mid-nineteenth-century Neapolitan prisons to the new
generation of younger inmates challenging the status quo within
gang subcultures today. Historian-criminologist Mitchel P. Roth
examines prison gangs throughout the world, from the Americas,
Oceania, and South Africa to Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond.
The book examines the many variables that influence the evolution
of prison subcultures, from colonialism and population demographics
to prison architecture and staff-prisoner relations. Power on the
Inside features eighty historical and contemporary images and will
inform professionals in the field as well as general readers who
want to know more about the realities of prison gangs today.
