Can the morality of a nation really be judged by how it treats its
prisoners? The United States has more people in prison than any
other nation, and the nature of the American correctional system
continues to be the subject of passionate debate. This unique
combination of historical overview and personal testimony provides
an unprecedented look at the U.S. correctional system. The first
section of the book places the notion of corrections within an
historical context. The second examines contemporary correctional
issues. In the third and final section, Stephen Stanko, an inmate
in the South Carolina correctional system, provides a detailed look
at prison life from the inside. Stanko offers his perspective--in a
voice that is blunt but never preachy--on the harsh realities of
prison life, making this a rigorous exploration of our correctional
system in both theory and practice.
