Overview
Few studies look at the treatment of those inside America's prisons. Discussing race discrimination alongside gender, ethnic, and religious discrimination in contemporary American prisons, this book finds that correctional staff are swayed by stereotypes in their treatment of inmates. * Provides a comprehensive account of the experiences of marginalized groups in American prisons * Considers discrimination inside prison walls rather than discrimination affecting which people are put into prison * Covers up-to-date topics such as solitary confinement, substance abuse treatment, and mental health counseling * Provides a timely look inside American prisons through recent interviews and unique survey data
