This concise and engaging book presents a critical perspective on the correctional system and the process of incarceration in the United States. Fleury-Steiner and Longazel emphasize the magnitude of mass imprisonment in the United States, especially of people of color, not by objective statistics and trends, but by the voices and lived experiences of individuals who live their harsh conditions on a daily basis. This is an ideal book for courses in corrections, social problems, criminology, and prisoner re-entry.

Benjamin Fleury-Steiner is Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware. For more than two decades, he has taught graduate and undergraduate courses on inequality, mass imprisonment, and the death penalty. Fleury-Steiner is the author of more than thirty scholarly journal and law review articles and numerous books, including Jurors’ Stories of Death: How America's Death Penalty Invests in Inequality, Dying Inside: The HIV/AIDS Ward at Limestone Prison, and The Elgar Companion to Capital Punishment and Society (co-edited with Austin Sarat). Jamie Longazel is Associate Professor of Law & Society at John Jay College and is on the International Migration Studies faculty at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. He is the author of Undocumented Fears: Immigration and the Politics of Divide and Conquer in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and co-editor of Migration and Mortality: Social Death, Dispossession, and Survival in the Americas.
