Description
"In This eye-opening book, co-editors Tara Herivel and Paul Wright "follow the money to an astonishing constellation of prison administrators and politicians working in collusion with private parties to maximize profits" (Publishers Weekly). From investment banks and the makers of Taser stun guns to health care providers and the U.S. military, this network of perversely motivated interests has turned the imprisonment of one out of every 135 Americans into a lucrative business. Sure to inform and outrage any concerned citizen, Prison Profiteers reframes the conversation by exposing those who stand to profit from mass incarceration" (From book jacket)
