Book SynopsisTrade Review"Labor and Punishment is an imminently useful resource for students and researchers."
* Criminal Law & Criminal Justice Books *
"Hatton…edits and contributes to this valuable collection exploring the particular condition of labor during and after imprisonment. . . .These timely, often polemical studies lead to a dour pronouncement: no institution or system cited is anywhere close to doing it right." * CHOICE *
"
Labor and Punishment offers to the reader a platform to question whether work must always be synonymous with punishment, and what we, as a society, can do to ensure that it is instead an experience defined by meaning and dignity." * Exertions *
