Lockdown America: Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis

Why is criminal justice so central to American politics? This title not only documents the horrors and absurdities of militarized policing, prisons, a fortified border, and the federalization of the war on crime, but also explains the political and economic history behind the massive crackdown.
