{"product_id":"mass-incarceration-9780190272531","title":"Mass Incarceration","description":"In this brief, timely text, Keramet Reiter explores the least visible, but arguably most important, characteristics of mass incarceration in the United States: the systematic constriction of prisoners' constitutional rights; the treatment of the mentally ill in prison; the long-term consequences of having served time in prison; the problem of prisoner disenfranchisement; and the privatization of multiple aspects of the prison industry. Each chapter begins with a narrative account of one individual's experience within the prison system, drawn from actual cases and recent events that frame the history, themes, and core ethical questions addressed in that chapter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeynotes in Criminology and Criminal Justice\u003c\/strong\u003e provides essential knowledge on important contemporary matters of crime, law, and justice to a broad audience of readers.
