Description

The Oxford History of the Prison is an informative account of the growth and development of the prison in Western society, from classical times to the present day. In fourteen chapters -- each written by specialists in social, legal, and institutional history -- the book explores not only the complex history of the prison, but also the social world of inmates and their keepers.
