Description

Product Description What explains the boom in private prisons—especially since the record of privatisation for rehabilitating prisoners and saving taxpayer dollars is, at best, mixed? Karyl Kicenski examines the privatisation of California state prisons to illuminate the forces that shape and distort our criminal justice policies.<br><br>Tracing the growth of private prisons from 1980 to the current day, Kicenski explores the role of political and economic factors, as well as the impact of changing public attitudes towards crime and governance. The result is a clear set of lessons for the uneasy partnership between public safety and for-profit enterprise. About the Author <strong>Karyl Kicenski </strong>is professor of communication studies at College of the Canyons, USA.
