Gosselin, Luc
Publisher: Black Rose Books, Montreal, CanadaYear Published: 1996 Pages: 212pp ISBN: 978-0919619128 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX9236 Gosselin provides a political and historical view of the prison system and its inherent contradictions. He argues that the penal system is used by the State to maintain its authority. He remarks on corporations, the press and the parole board and the difference in their treatment and coverage of prisoners and prisons. He sees the penal system as a morally bankrupt bureaucracy which threatens future incarceration for many people that the economy cannot absorb. Subject Headings |
