This engaging book presents a critical approach to understanding prison conditions in the United States in the era of mass incarceration. Fleury-Steiner and Longazel do this by weaving together empirical research on prisons with stories that rely on the voices and lived experiences of people who are locked up. This is an ideal book for courses in corrections, social problems, criminology, and prisoner re-entry. The new edition of The Pains of Mass Imprisonment dramatically expands and revises the previous edition to include more empirical data, significant engagement with current debates and scholarship, and extended pedagogical and learning materials.
