Revolution in Penology: Rethinking the Society of Captives

Revolution in Penology: Rethinking the Society of Captives is a thoroughly original and thought-provoking critique of penal harm the recursive pains of the improsonment cycle, and the normalization of violence. Relying on selected insights derived from continental philosophy, cultural studies, and chaos theory internationally renowned social theorists Bruce A. Arrigo and Dragan Milovanovic deconstruct the human agency/social structure duality that sustains the prison form, its parts and segments understood as correctional principles/practices, and the prison industrial complex that is informed by and stands above them all.
