Are Prisons Any Better?: Twenty Years of Correctional Reform

by John W. Murphy and Jack E. Dison

Book Overview

Are Prisons Any Better? brings together criminologists, economists and political scientists to address both the theoretical and political aspects of penal reform over the past two decades. The contributors varied backgrounds give the book an extra dimension because, the book argues, prison and social reform are synonymous, and discussing or proposing one without the other is fruitless.
