description: "One can only hope that the publication of this book will usher in a new era of prison studies. Throughout the capitalist world, the "crime control industry," is enjoying its greatest expansion in history...this volume offer[s] imaginative answers to the question of why there has been such a dramatic increase in incarceration in recent years. As this book makes clear, it is not only that the prisons are in crisis; society is in crisis and imprisonment and the prisons are merely a reflection of it." -- From the Foreword by William J. Chambilss.
