Description
"Schorb takes us off the scaffold and inside the private world of the first penitentiaries--such as Philadelphia's Walnut Street Prison and New York's Newgate, Auburn, and Sing Sing. With the current rise of mass incarceration in America, Reading Prisoners offers vital background to the ongoing, crucial debates over the benefits of prisoner education"--Page [4] of cover.
