Description

The media frequently hype the notion that US prisons, overcrowded and understaffed, are deadly places. Are they correct? How many people actually die in prison, and from what causes? Who are the victims? The perpetrators? How reliable are the available data? Joshua Long addresses these questions in his rich, in-depth study of killing and dying in carceral settings. Incorporating numerous case studies and interviews of prisoners, correctional officers, and family members, his analysis illuminates the scope, nature, and patterns of prison homicides.
