Detain and Punish: Haitian Refugees and the Rise of the World's Largest Immigration Detention System (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781683401261)

Immigrants make up the largest proportion of federal prisoners in the United States, incarcerated in a vast network of more than two hundred detention facilities. This book investigates when detention became a centerpiece of U.S. immigration policy. Detain and Punish reveals why the practice was reinstituted in 1981 after being halted for several decades and how the system expanded to become the world's largest immigration detention regime.
