Sinopsis

"Prisons World Wide" offers a comprehensive exploration of global incarceration systems, tracing their evolution from ancient Mesopotamian holding cells to today's complex correctional facilities. The book uniquely weaves together historical development, architectural design, and social impact to demonstrate how prison systems reflect the values and challenges of their respective societies.Through detailed case studies spanning twenty countries, readers gain insight into how cultural, economic, and political factors shape approaches to incarceration and rehabilitation. The work progresses systematically through three main sections, beginning with historical prison models and their philosophical foundations, moving to contemporary case studies, and concluding with emerging trends in corrections.By examining architectural plans, recidivism rates, and rehabilitation program outcomes, the book presents compelling evidence of how different societies approach justice and punishment. Notable aspects include the dramatic shift in prison design during the industrial revolution and the introduction of concepts like solitary confinement and rehabilitation programs.Drawing from multiple disciplines including criminology, sociology, and public policy, this analytical work maintains accessibility while offering practical applications for professionals and policy makers. The book's global perspective and evidence-based approach make it particularly valuable for understanding current challenges in corrections and evaluating potential solutions.Whether examining mass incarceration, prison privatization, or the balance between punishment and rehabilitation, the text provides essential context for anyone interested in criminal justice reform and social policy development.

    “A reminder of the perseverance, the gall, the intelligence it took to obtain what now seems an inalienable right, an obvious pillar of any democracy.” —Los Angeles TimesAlice Paul began her life as a studious girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. In 1907, a scholarship took her to England, where she developed a passionate devotion to the suffrage movement. Upon her return to the United States, Alice became the leader of the militant wing of the American suffrage movement. Calling themselves “Silent Sentinels,” she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Arrested and jailed, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul practiced peaceful civil disobedience in the pursuit of equal rights for women.With her daring and unconventional tactics, Alice Paul eventually succeeded in forcing President Woodrow Wilson and a reluctant U.S. Congress to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Here at last is the inspiring story of the young woman whose dedication to women's rights made that long-held dream a reality.“Alice Paul was a visionary and a pioneer . . . She went where most men and women would not have gone.” —Hillary Clinton“I value the book for introducing [Paul] to the next generation of feminists with a taste for revolution.” —Vivian Gornick, Ms. Magazine“Mary Walton vividly brings [Paul] to life again in this brilliant, important and highly readable book. America's understanding of its history will be all the richer for it.” —Gene Roberts, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
