Description:
In this updated new edition, Rothman chronicles and examines incarceration of the criminal, the deviant, and the dependent in U.S. society, with a focus on how and why these methods have persisted and expanded for over a century and a half, despite longstanding evidence of their failures and abuses. A new epilogue, "The Crime of Punishment," written for this Aldine paperback edition, assesses prison conditions in America over the past two decades and the more recent failed attempts to reform them.
