In this country, prisons are euphemistically called 'correctional' institutions. But this anthology offers impassioned testimony that our prisons stand as monuments to futility, serving neither to deter crime nor to rehabilitate criminals but to give society the illusion that its ills can be contained and cured behind bars. For the over whelming majority of inmates, a term 'on the inside' is the shortest, surest route away from rehabilitation. Visit my eCRATER Store for other great books and save on shipping!
