Title: Total institutions and reinvented identities
Description: "Why do people enter total institutions - places that confine and control them around the clock - and how does the experience change them? This book updates Goffman's classic model by introducing the Reinventive Institution, where members voluntarily commit themselves to pursue regimes of self-improvement."--Pub. desc.
