Rabble, Crime, and the Jail -- Appendix -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexCombining extensive interviews with his own experience as an inmate, John Irwin constructs a powerful and graphic description of the big-city jail. Unlike prisons, which incarcerate convicted felons, jails primarily confine arrested persons not yet charged or convicted of any serious crime. Irwin argues that rather than controlling the disreputable, jail disorients and degrades these people, indoctrinating new recruits to the rabble class. In a forceful conclusion, Irwin addresses the issue of jail reform and the matter of social control demanded by society. Reissued more than twenty years after its initial publication with a new foreword by Jonathon Simon, The Jail remains an extraordinary account of the role jails play in America's crisis of mass incarceration.JailsSocial aspectsCaliforniaCase studiesPrisonersCaliforniaCase studiesPrison psychologyalienation.american class system.american jails.american prison system.american society.arrested persons.attorney.big city jail.class system.convicted felons.convicted.criminal justice.criminology.discrimination.human condition.incarceration.inequality.inmates.jail reform.jails.lock up.mass incarceration.poverty.prison reform.prison system.prison.prisons.rabble class.racism.social control.social science.sociology.underclass rabble.united states of america.JailsSocial aspectsPrisonersPrison psychology.365/.6/0979461Irwin John409242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814902203321The jail3958967UNINA
