Content:
In addition to holding nearly one-quarter of the world's legal captives, the United States puts them to work. Close to two-thirds of those held in state prisons hold some sort of job within their institution, yet very little is known about work behind bars. To illuminate the "black box" of modern prison labor, Michael Gibson-Light conducted eighteen months of ethnographic observations and over eighty interviews with currently incarcerated men and staff members within one of America's many medium-security prisons. This book pulls together these accounts to paint a picture of daily labors on the inside.
