Punishment and the Prison: Indian and International Perspectives

While there are books on prison and others on punishment, there are few that relate these two important themes. That is the central purpose of this multi-disciplinary volume which connects prison practices with punishment theories in order to highlight the manner in which each society s ethos and politico-cultural traditions are reflected in the way it punishes its wrongdoers.
