Warehousing Violence (Frontiers of Anthropology)

By Mark E. Fleisher

Book Overview

Warehousing Violence addresses an issue of major concern for the prison system - how to maintain order amongst violent criminals who are in prison for life. Fleisher, an anthropologist who served as a line corrections officer at a maximum security prison in California, points to the success of at least one experiment in non-violence among very violent people. Through a mixture of hands-on management, strict control and innovative prison industry, he shows how even the hardest cases′ can be kept relatively placid in prison.
