Prisons in the Americas in the Twenty-First Century: A Human Dumping Ground - Paperback
by Astrid Arrarás (Contribution by), Emily D. Bello-Pardo (Contribution by), Adrián Bonilla (Contribution by)
This volume on penitentiary systems in the Americas offers a long-overdue look at the prisons that exist at the forefront of the ongoing struggle against drugs and violence throughout North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. From Haiti to Bolivia, the authors examine the conditions in these systems, and allow several common themes to emerge, including the alarming prevalence of lengthy pre-trial detention and the often abysmal living conditions in these institutions. Taken together, this comprises the first comparative overview of the use and abuse of prisons in the Americas.
