Seller's Description:
Very Good with no dust jacket. 0313314756. Library stamps/marks/labels/slip, otherwise light wear. Crisp hardcover.; "Though much has been written about prisons, penal philosophy, and the impact of prison reform litigation on state budges and prison management, few authors have attempted to examine the doctrinal development of prisoners' rights from a historical and political perspective. A historical view allows the reader to trace the evolution of prisoners' rights in the federal courts. This approach promotes our understanding of how the constitutional rights of prisoners have been influenced by public attitudes toward crime and punishment, interest group advocacy, case-by-case decision making, and the changing political composition of the Supreme Court. More than any other variable, the policy preferences of the nine individuals sitting on the Court have shaped the development of prisoners' rights."-Introduction. Contents: Preface; Introduction; 1.
