‘This is an extraordinarily important book, full of rare insights and invaluable
information… The book is extremely well written, engaging, and astute. It is
a must read for scholars , prison policy‐makers, and interested citizens alike.’
‐ Professor Craig Haney, University of California, Santa Cruz
‘Shalev succeeds where much literature on imprisonment fails: comparing
the ‘internal’ technologies of control architectural design, techniques of
constant surveillance, daily routine with ‘external’ ideologies of
justification. An important book.’
‐ Professor Stanley Cohen, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics
Sharon Shalev has provided us with a long‐overdue authoritative,
meticulously‐researched portrait and thoughtful, scholarly analysis of this
draconian invention’.
