Details

"This pamphlet explores some of the economic aspects of the prison system. It examines who goes to prison and why- and how this relates to larger trends within the U.S. economy. It also takes a look at the economics of the Prison industry itself. This approach can teach us a lot about what is wrong with our prisons. Most important, it can suggest some directions for more just and more effective- solutions to the problems of crime and violence" -from the introduction
