Contemporary Case Study: Going Up the River and 'Prison Culture' on the Outside.
This paper starts by addressing issues raised by Joseph Hallinan's book Going Up the River, an examination of the growth of the "prison industry" in the US. It moves on to discuss the startling racial disparities of the prison population, and how this has damaged the African-American community, particularly its family structures. The paper also addresses the issues of women in prison. 10 pgs, bibliography lists 20 sources.
