Prisons

<b>Leonard Orland provides 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.</b> <p/><i>Prisons: House of Darkness </i>reveals the lawlessness by which sentencing judges prison authorities and parole boards actually operate. <p/>Orland shares 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.
