Invisible Punishment: The Collateral Consequences of Mass Imprisonment
New York: New Press, 2002. Hardcover. 8vo., 355 pp. First edition. A series of essays from leading scholars and advocates in criminal justice exploring the far reaching consequences of our current criminal justice policies. Adopted as part of 'get tough on crime' attitudes that prevailed in the 1980s and '90s, a range of strategies, from 'three strikes' and 'a war on drugs,' to mandatory sentencing and prison privatization, have resulted in the mass incarceration of American citizens, and have had enormous effects not just on wrongdoers, but on their families and the communities they come from. This book looks at the consequences of these policies twenty years later. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Item #919202612
