Reviews

'This book might at first appear to interest only a specialized readership: those involved in the justice system or in the design of justice facilities like courthouses and prisons. But the book deserves a much broader audience, raising issues that should engage anyone who cares about politics and the public realm.' Journal of Architectural Education
