Description
"What purpose is incarceration supposed to serve, and how successfully does it serve that purpose? What's Prison For? traces the tension between our national punitive streak and our faith in rehabilitation, between viewing prisoners as menacing Others to be incapacitated and shamed and, alternatively, viewing them as future neighbors"--,Provided by publisher.
