About This Book
From Columbus's voyages to the New World through today's prison expansion movements, captivity has played an important, yet disconcerting, role in American history.
In this sweeping examination of imprisonment in the United States over five centuries, Scott Christianson exposes the hidden record of the nation's prison heritage, illuminating the forces underlying the paradox of a country that sanctifies individual liberty while it continues to build and maintain a growing complex of totalitarian institutions.
