{"product_id":"the-penitentiary-in-crisis-mark-colvin-9780791409305","title":"The Penitentiary in Crisis: From Accommodation to Riot in New Mexico","description":"This is a case study of the violence and disorder that have become endemic in U. S. prisons. The 1980 riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico was one of the worst riots in prison history. Thirty-three inmates were killed and hundreds were injured. The author demonstrates how this riot, and the growing disorder that preceded it, reflect important shifts in the organizational structure and philosophy of prison management in the U. S.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Penitentiary in Crisis analyzes how shifts in prisoner control strategies disrupted important power relations between inmates and staff and created disorder. The author's experiences as a corrections counselor and planner in New Mexico corrections and his later role as principal researcher for the official investigation of the riot give him a unique perspective for understanding the riot and the prison's organization and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Colvin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791409309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791409305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.08w x 0.69d","brand":"Mark Colvin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947154079999,"sku":"9780791409305","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_131df309-090a-4c6e-9154-3f84b3fcb63c.jpg?v=1681517038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-penitentiary-in-crisis-mark-colvin-9780791409305","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
