With prisons a fertile recruiting ground for Islam, what impact does the religion have on life behind bars? Muslims in US Prisons systematically explores the cultural, legal, political, and religious issues shaping the Muslim prison experience. The authors probe the topic from the perspectives of both prisoners and the criminal justice system. In the process, they illuminate larger issues of race and imprisonment, inmate culture, and rehabilitation. The result is a revealing look at an often sensationalized but understudied population.Muslim prisonersUnited StatesPrisonersReligious lifeUnited StatesPrisonsUnited StatesCorrectionsUnited StatesMuslim prisonersPrisonersReligious lifePrisonsCorrections365/.60882970973Ammar Nawal, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1655889Ammar Nawal H.1958-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816243603321Muslims in US prisons4008475UNINA
