Beskrivning
This volume on penitentiary systems in the Americas offers a long-overdue look at the prisons that exist at the forefront of the ongoing struggle against drugs and violence throughout North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. From Haiti to Bolivia, the authors examine the conditions in these systems, and allow several common themes to emerge, including the alarming prevalence of lengthy pre-trial detention and the often abysmal living conditions in these institutions. Taken together, this comprises the first comparative overview of the use and abuse of prisons in the Americas.

This book provides a groundbreaking and greatly-needed comparative analysis of prisons in Latin America. Although they are the scene of the region’s most pervasive human rights violations and biggest failure of their criminal justice systems, prisons have long been an overlooked area of study. This book fills a critical gap in the study of justice, rights, and governance in Latin America.
