Wall Shadows: A Study In American Prisons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432536985)

Wall Shadows: A Study In American Prisons is a non-fiction book written by Frank Tannenbaum, an American sociologist and criminologist. The book is an in-depth study of the American prison system, examining the conditions within prisons and the impact they have on inmates. Tannenbaum's research draws on his own experiences as a prisoner, as well as interviews with other inmates, prison staff, and experts in the field. The book explores issues such as overcrowding, violence, and the lack of rehabilitation programs in American prisons. Tannenbaum argues that the current system is failing both inmates and society at large, and offers suggestions for reform. Wall Shadows is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the American prison system, and remains a relevant and important work today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
