{"product_id":"9780029234204","title":"Prisons","description":"A vivid look at the end of the line in the American legal system, where the rule of law gives way to the \"correctional process\". \"Prisons: Houses of Darkness\" reveals the astonishing lawlessness by which sentencing judges, prison authorities, and parole boards actually operate. It provides an eye-opening history of prisons and an overview of daily prison routine from Attica to Soledad-- much of it related in the inmates' own words-- which shatters the myth of rehabilitation and exposes the injustices of prison life. This is an urgent call for reform, a powerful case for applying the rule of law to the American way of punishment.","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007775457520,"sku":"9780029234204","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780029234204_p0.jpg?v=1763618867","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780029234204","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
