Textbook in PDF format Prisons and Prison Systems - A Global Encyclopedia by Mitchel P. Roth is recommended for academic libraries, particularly those with criminal justice, political science, or international studies programs. It is also a most suitable reference handbook for lower-division undergraduates through faculty/researchers and general readers as well. This encyclopedia is a good contribution to the field, and will be a useful addition for law libraries, criminology researchers, and universities. It has an easy style, clearly printed with a good size type and will also prove popular with general readerships and public libraries. Any college-level collection with a focus on law enforcement should have Mitchel P. Roth's Prisons and Prison Systems: A Global Encyclopedia in their collection: it packs in details on famous prisons, prisoners, prison museums, prison culture, writings by prisoners and more, with listings ranging from paragraphs of biographical detail to near-essay fullness. This reference for criminal justice researchers provides a historical overview of prison institutions and systems around the world. Arranged alphabetically, the cross-referenced entries cover important facilities, prominent reformers, famous prisoners, major architects, and relevant legislation. The focus is on traditional correctional facilities, and prisoner-of-war camps and concentration camps are not covered. More than a dozen appendices offer supplemental information on such topics as prison slang and international standards for the treatment of prisoners. Prisons have undoubtedly changed over the years, as have penal practices in general, though more so in some countries than others. Prisons and prison systems have long been an overlooked part of criminal justice research, and as a result, limited material is available on many institutions. This comprehensive encyclopedia provides a historical overview of institutions and systems around the world, as well as penal theories, prisoner culture and life, and notable prisoners and personnel.Readers will find a plethora of information including material on such famous prisons as the Tower of London and Alcatraz, as well as on such topics as boot camps and parole. Other entries include Devil's Island, supermaximum prisons, Nelson Mandela, Pennsylvania system, and Amnesty International. Numerous appendixes list famous prisoners, prison museums, prison slang, and more. Prison, also known at different times and in different countries as band house, bate sohar, big house, big pasture, bit kili, calaboose, kalabus, and quod, plays a significant role in the society and history of a nation. This global encyclopedia provides a glimpse into important prisons, prison reformers, famous prisoners, prison architecture, prisoner culture, and more. According to editor Roth, "this book is dedicated to offering the most current research available on all the prison systems in the world, past and present." Because of the limitations inherent in a one-volume encyclopedia, larger ethical issues such as the death penalty were purposely excluded, as were war-related prisons such as POW camps, concentration camps, and internment camps. Arrangement is alphabetical. Entries range in size from a few sentences to a few pages and include sources consulted. The material is well written and easy to digest. A substantial number of the more than 450 entries cover individual countries and their prison systems; these are complemented by more specific entries, such as Gulag and Midnight Express. Introductory material includes an alphabetical list of entries, a topical list of entries, and a chronology of the world's prisons from circa 1900 BCE to 2004. The encyclopedia also offers a bibliography and 14 appendixes on a variety of topics, including writings by prisoners and prison employees, prison museums, famous prisoners, and general, French, and Soviet prison slang. As the countries of the world lock up more of their citizens each year, the dearth of reference works on international prisons and prison systems seems even more glaring. Prisons and Prison Systems: A Global Encyclopedia was conceived and written to help fill a void in prison reference books. This book is dedicated to offering the most current research available on all the prison systems in the world, past and present, as well as reference materials on famous and important prisons, prison reformers, famous prisoners, and prison architecture and architects. All topics are referenced with sources and cross-referenced to main entries in bold face type. Historically, prison populations have been overwhelmingly made up of adult males, hence the concentration on adult male facilities over juvenile and women's prisons. All reference works are subject to limitations of content and length. This work is no exception. A deliberate decision was made to focus on correctional systems, personnel, reformers, prisoners, architecture, and legislation. Hence decisions were made to avoid issues such as the death penalty, death row, and executions. Likewise, an entire book could be devoted to prisoner-of-war camps, so these too have been excluded from the purview of this book. Including these topics would have required at least a second volume. The author was responsible for including the Soviet Gulag and other types of labor camps but excluding the concentration camps of World War II, the prison camps of Yugoslavia's civil war, and Axis internment camps in the United States in the 1940s. Since these camps were devoted to single issues and specific individuals based on race, ethnicity, or religion, they had less in common with the traditional notion of imprisonment as a method of rehabilitation, penitence, or punishment. In contrast, the Soviet Gulag, like other prison systems, held a wide range of individuals, with no dominant race, religion, or ethnic group represented.
