Recenzje

Though it originated as a doctoral thesis, this book reads like a monograph and provides a truly comprehensive understanding of the development and consequences of private prisons. The writing is articulate, and Gunderson (Louisiana State Univ.) supports her suppositions and conclusions with data, which are presented both in-line in a format accessible to interested readers and in a thorough appendix and bibliography for scholars and researchers. The book is concise...The reader comes away with an understanding of the incentives and costs that have led to prison privatization.
