• PART I: HOW MUCH IMPRISONMENT IS TOO MUCH?; PART II: GOING IN; PART III: BEING THERE; PART IV: COMING OUT

The Future of Imprisonment is a valuable contribution to our understanding of how a malignant institution has not only endured in the United States, but thrived. Unlike many edited collections, the contributions are of a uniformly high standard and their reach is broad. There is plenty here to interest both penologist and policy maker, and while the current political context does not inspire great confidence, this book provides a route map for reform, should circumstances change.
