American furies [electronic resource] : crime, punishment, and vengeance in the age of mass imprisonment / Sasha Abramsky.
In this dramatic expose of U.S. penitentiaries and the communities around them, Sasha Abramsky finds that prisons have dumped their age-old goal of rehabilitation, often for political reasons. The new "ideal," unknown to most Americans, is a punitive mandate marked by a drive toward vengeance.
