Counties in Court: Jail Overcrowding and Court-ordered ReformTemple University Press, 1995 - 265 páginas As new jails fill up almost as soon as they open, conflict continues to grow among public officials, who, in turn, create policies that do little more than avoid blame and temporarily control the crisis. This book proposes that we can understand this crisis by tracing the interdependence of the jail system with local agencies of criminal justice. |
