"Eugene Puryear examines the evolution of mass incarceration as a product of the exigencies of U.S. monopoly capitalism as well as bipartisan political fealty to the system's needs. In addition to detailing its historical origins, Puryear provides a detailed examination of the oppressive reality that reigns inside America's prison system."--Back cover.
