Why read it?
1 author picked The Future of Imprisonment as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Academic books about imprisonment proliferate and some have the irritating characteristic of running before the latest intellectual breezes. This book by Norval Morris is an unquestionable stand-alone and is an honest and engaging read.
Morris was one of a small number of authors in this field who had much practical experience of penal management, who shied away from easy answers, and who always wrote engagingly and with humane values. His output was as considerable as it was distinguished.
It remains relevant and, oddly for such a topic, uplifting.
From Seán's list on prison books based experience and truth rather than invention and sensationalism.
