Incarceration Nations: A Journey to Justice in Prisons Around the World
Author(s): Dreisinger Baz
Beginning in Africa and ending in Europe, Incarceration Nationsis a first-person odyssey through the prison systems of the world. Professor, journalist, and founder of the Prison-to-College-Pipeline program, Dreisinger looks into the human stories of incarcerated men and women and those who imprison them, creating a jarring, poignant view of a world to which most are denied access, and a rethinking of one of America?s most far-reaching global exports- the modern prison complex.From serving as a restorative justice facilitator in a notorious South Africanprison and working with genocide survivors in Rwanda,to launching a creative writing class in an overcrowded Ugandanprison and coordinating a drama workshop for women prisoners in Thailand,Dreisinger examines the world behind bars with equal parts empathy and intellect. She journeys to Jamaicato visit a prison music program, to Singaporeto learn about approaches to prisoner reentry, to Australiato grapple with the bottom line of private prisons, to a federal supermax in Brazilto confront the horrors of solitary confinement, and finally to the so-called model prisons of Norway.Incarceration Nationsconcludes with climactic lessons about the past, present, and future of justice
