THIS TEXT OFFERS FOURTEEN ARTICLES DEALING WITH THE QUALITY OF PRISON LIFE, THE EFFECT OF RACISM IN PRISONS, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ASPECTS OF THE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM, AND THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF IMPRISONMENT.
Abstract
THE ARTICLES IN THIS VOLUME, REPRINTED FROM RAMPARTS MAGAZINE, EXAMINE ISSUES OF THE AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM IN THE CONTEXT OF AMERICA'S SOCIAL AND POLITICAL STRUCTURE. UNLIKE MOST TEXTS ON THE PRISON SYSTEM, THIS VOLUME PROVIDES A RADICAL VIEW OF THE SYSTEM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE INMATE AND THE RADICAL REFORMER.
