The Prison System

Parenti, Christian. Lockdown America: Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis. Verso Books, 2000.

Parenti argues against the increasing militarization of our everyday lives. He believes that prisons today are about everything but individual reform and poses the questions, ?at what present and future costs are we enjoying safer streets??
