Description: "America is the most punitive nation in the world, incarcerating more than 2.3 million people, or one in 136 residents... ...The culture of punishment takes readers on a tour of the sites where culture and punishment meet -- television shows, movies, prison tourism, and post-9/11 new war prisons -- demonstrating that because incarceration affects people along fdistinct race and class lines, it is only a privilidged group of citiczens who are removed from the experience of incarceration. The penal spectators, who often sanction the infliction of pain from a distance, risk overlooking the reasons for democratic oversight of the project of punishment and, more broadly, justifications for the prohibition of pain." Excellent book for anyone interested in Criminal Justice, prison reform, or has themselves been incarcerated.
