Prisoners are usually restricted to their cells for up to twenty-three hours a day and typically have minimal contact with other inmates and correctional staff. Not only does the Federal Bureau of Prisons operate one of these facilities, but almost every state has either a supermax wing or stand-alone supermax prison. The Globalization of Supermax Prisons examines why nine advanced industrialized countries have adopted the supermax prototype, paying particular attention to the economic, social, and political processes that have affected each state. Featuring essays that look at the U.S.-run prisons of Abu Ghraib and Guantanemo, this collection seeks to determine if the American model is the basis for the establishment of these facilities and considers such issues as the support or opposition to the building of a supermax and why opposition efforts failed; the allegation of human rights abuses within these prisons; and the extent to which the decision to build a supermax was influenced by developments in the United States. Additionally, contributors address such domestic matters as the role of crime rates, media sensationalism, and terrorism in each country?s decision to build a supermax prison. 410 0$aCritical Issues in Crime and Society 606 $aPrisons 606 $aPrison administration 606 $aPrisons$zUnited States 606 $aPrison administration$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPrisons. 615 0$aPrison administration. 615 0$aPrisons 615 0$aPrison administration 676 $a365/.33 701 $aRoss$b Jeffrey Ian$0559729 701 $aWacquant$b Loi?c J.

Law is an ideal domain for considering fundamental questions relating to how we assign meanings to words, understand and comment on texts, and deal with socially and ideologically significant questions of interpretation. The book argues that theoretical issues of concern to linguists, philosophers, literary theorists and others are illuminated by the demands of the legal context, since law is driven by the need for practical solutions and for 606 $aLaw$xLanguage 606 $aLegal composition 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw$xLanguage. 615 0$aLegal composition. 676 $a340.14 700 $aHutton$b Christopher$0223843 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454262103321 996 $aLanguage, meaning and the law$92224393 997 $aUNINA
