'An incredibly powerful and robust text on imprisonment. It is, without doubt, a tour de force.' Peter Hamerton in British Society of Criminology Newsletter
'This book deserves to become the standard text on the subject for some years to come.' Maurice Vanstone in Vista Vol. 10 no. 3
'Is most timely and well-crafted in its fresh handling of this critical and enduring issue.' Michael Weinrath, University of Winnipeg in The Canadian Journal of Criminology
