Reviews

""The Pains of Mass Imprisonment is an incredibly important text for anyone who is interested in understanding more about incarceration and its consequences. This second edition offers timely examples that have emerged over the last decade (e.g., COVID-19), updated research, and a new chapter on migrant detention. The latter is an issue that has perhaps never been more relevant given the current political climate and promises for unprecedented “mass deportations” from the Trump administration as soon as January, 2025. 'Stories from the Inside' are another welcome addition. These accounts of lived experiences are not only compelling, they highlight the tragic lack of humanity that those who experience incarceration often endure and why this must change."" Meghan A. Novisky, Associate Professor of Criminology and Sociology at Cleveland State University
