| Sommario/riassunto: | The 'Million Dollar Inmate' highlights the financial and social costs of America's incarceration of non-violent offenders. Basing her insight on extensive research into the origins of our correctional systems, the visible and non-visible costs incurred by the practice of incarcerating non-violent offenders, and the goals of our prison system, Heather Ahn-Redding dares to expose flaws in current correctional practices and suggest ways they can be not only changed, but re-envisioned as well. |
