books about: imprisonment     books:       Ironies of Imprisonment Michael F. Welch Sage Publications, Inc, 2004 From the Foreword "Michael Welch's book is an invitation to think. It is an invitation to grow intellectually and critically, as a consumer of crime policy and an observer of the American scene. Written by a scholar who has dedicated his work to uncovering the hidden ironies of formal crime policy, this is a collection of essays of depth and significance." -Todd R. Clear, Distinguished Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice ...             Conspiracy And Imprisonment, 1940-1945 (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works) Fortress Press, 2006 This volume, published in the year of the one hundredth anniversary of Bonhoeffer's birth, documents Bonhoeffer's life under the increasing restraints and fateful events of World War II Germany. In hundreds of letters, including ten never-before-published letters to his fiancée, Maria von Wedemeyer, as well as official documents, short original pieces, and a few final sermons, the volume sheds light on Bonhoeffer's active resistance to and ...             Mass Imprisonment: Social Causes and Consequences Sage Publications Ltd, 2001 "The quite extraordinary phenomenon of mass imprisonment in the USA needs, above all, to be identified. David Garland and his excellent range of criminological contributors go well beyond this by showing how to start thinking (and arguing) about what these unprecedented statistics might mean for all modern societies" - Professor Stan Cohen, Department of Sociology, London School of Economics and Political Science, U.K. This major new volume ...             The Crisis of Imprisonment: Protest, Politics, and the Making of the American Penal State, 1776-1941 ... Rebecca M. McLennan Cambridge University Press, 2008 In the Age of Jackson, private enterprise set up shop in the American penal system. Working hand in glove with state government, contractors in both the North and the South would go on to put more than half a million imprisoned men, women, and youth to hard, sweated toil for private gain by 1900. Held captive, stripped of their rights, and subject to lash and paddle, convict laborers churned out vast quantities of goods and revenue, in some ...             Marking Time in the Golden State: Women's Imprisonment in California (Cambridge Studies in Criminology)1 review Candace Kruttschnitt, Rosemary Gartner Cambridge University Press, 2004 Better than Harry Potter Spent the weekend reading Marking Time and the new Harry Potter book. All I can say is that Marking Time blows HP away. It is much more interesting, much more exciting, and much less predictable (Don't we all know that Harry will narrowly escape Voldemort, yet again?). Anyone interested in knowing about the current nature of criminal justice policy and its impact on women has to read this ...             The Future of Imprisonment Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 The imprisonment rate in America has grown by a factor of five since 1972. In that time, punishment policies have toughened, compassion for prisoners has diminished, and prisons have gotten worse-a stark contrast to the origins of the prison 200 years ago as a humanitarian reform, a substitute for capital and corporal punishment and banishment. So what went wrong? How can prisons be made simultaneously more effective and more humane? Who should ...             Invisible Punishment: The Collateral Consequences of Mass Imprisonment4 reviews New Press, 2003 Should be required reading for students of criminal justice I chose this book because it is a collaborative effort of two of my favorite authors (Mauer and Chesney-Lind). Those familiar with the work of either of these two will not be disappointed. Anyone seeking a good understanding of the current operations of the criminal justice system, especially the enduring impact of incarceration on offenders, their families and the community as a whole, should ...             The Kennedy Imprisonment: A Meditation on Power2 reviews Garry Wills Mariner Books, 2002 Insightful Study of America's First Family Garry Wills is one of the most popular contemporary historians. He is the former Henry R. Luce Professor of American Culture at Northwestern University and the author of numerous books, including "Reagan's America," "Nixon Agonistes," and "Lincoln at Gettysburg," for which he won the Pulitzer Prize. "The Kennedy Imprisonment" is one of his best, a book filled with intriguing insights into the ...             Looking Like the Enemy: My Story of Imprisonment in Japanese American Internment Camps13 reviews Mary Matsuda Gruenewald NewSage Press, 2005 Eye Opening My family was also sent to internment camps, actually some of the same ones as this author. We came from the same beloved Vashon. Being a child of a parental figure who came from that era and having had aunts and uncles, grandparents and great grandparents who had lived that experience but never spoken of it, this book has opened my eyes and helped me understand the severity of it all. I can ...             Reforming Punishment: Psychological Limitations to the Pains of Imprisonment (Law and Public Policy: ... Craig Haney American Psychological Association (APA), 2005             The Imprisonment of Obtala (African Writers Series) Obotunde Ijimere Heinemann, 1966 A novel by Obotunde Ijimere.             The Effects of Imprisonment (Cambridge Criminal Justice)1 review Willan Pub, 2006 Great service, great product! Thank you for your promptness. The book was in perfect condition. Thanks again.             It's About Time: America's Imprisonment Binge2 reviews James Austin, John Irwin Wadsworth Publishing, 2000 I highly recommend this book for the truth about prison. At last I have found a book which takes a realistic look at the problems of crime and prison. I taught Texas inmates for eight years during the recent prison expansion. People were usually surprised when I told them how much I enjoyed teaching inmates. The longer I worked in prison, the more I became concerned about the misinformation, based on fear instead of fact, which the public had been ...             Murderers And Life Imprisonment: Containment, Treatment, Safety And Risk Eric Cullen, Tim Newell Waterside Pr Winchester, 1999             Harsh Punishment: International Experiences of Women's Imprisonment (The Northeastern Series on Gender, Crime ... Northeastern, 1999 While the number of incarcerated women is dramatically escalating, women prisoners throughout the world are largely an invisible and neglected population. These comparative essays examine thoroughly the unique problems, challenges, and issues facing women inmates in the United States, Canada, England, New Zealand, Poland, and Thailand. The insightful volume fills a major gap in criminal justice literature, and it provides a solid basis for ...             Rethinking Imprisonment (Oxford Monographs on Criminal Law and Justice) Richard Lippke Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 Drawing on philosophical arguments, criminological evidence, and the legal literature on prisoners' rights, Rethinking Imprisonment defends a normative theory of imprisonment. Such a theory provides an account of the justified conditions of prison confinement - the restrictions and deprivations that can be legitimately imposed on serious offenders in the name of punishment. The theory of legal punishment upon which this account builds combines ...             Irrational Indictment & Imprisonment: for Exporting Krytrons to Israel Dr. Jon Schiller BookSurge Publishing, 2008 This is a horrible, true story of an unbelievable and unfair indictment and imprisonment of a loyal American whose only crime was to misread the USG export regulations. He spent all his money on an expensive lawyer who said, 2 days before the trial, ‘You are going to prison.’ Dr. Ernest Kelly replied, ‘How can I be imprisoned since I did nothing wrong?’ His lawyer answered, ‘The prisons are full of people who did nothing wrong!’ Terrified, ...             Relation of My Imprisonment: A Fiction1 review Russell Banks Harper Perennial, 1996 An interesting book, especially as a work of SF By SF I mean speculative fiction. This is an alternate history, where an entire religion has sprung up around the worship of the dead. Banks has invented a Bible and theology that's highly interesting, and this book is worth reading for just his creation of an interesting world. The book itself is a form of Puritan works, sent by the jailed practitioners to the congregation. Banks manages to ...              search for books 1776-1941, 1940-1945, bonhoeffer, california, cambridge, collateral, consequences, conspiracy, containment, criminology, experiences, exporting, historical, imprisonment, indictment, international, internment, invisible, irrational, limitations, meditation, monographs, murderers, northeastern, psychological, psychology, punishment, reforming, rethinking, treatment books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
