This comprehensive encyclopedia provides a historical overview of institutions and systems around the world, as well as penal theories, prisoner culture and life, and notable prisoners and personnel." "Readers will find a wealth of information that includes material on famous prisons such as the Tower of London and Alcatraz, as well as on topics such as boot camps and parole. Other entries include Devil's Island, super-maximum prisons, Nelson Mandela, the Pennsylvania system, and Amnesty International. Numerous appendixes list famous prisoners, prison museums, prison slang, and more."--BOOK JACKET. |
