Expanding Prison : Why Penal Systems Fail and What Can Be Done About Them, Paperback by Cayley, David, ISBN 0887846033, ISBN-13 9780887846038, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "The Expanding Prison is a provocative, cogent argument for prison reform. David Cayley argues that our overpopulated prisons are more reflective of a society that is becoming increasingly polarized than of an actual surge in crime. This book considers proven alternatives to imprisonment that emphasize settlement-oriented techniques over punishment, and move us towards a vision of justice as peace-making rather than one of vengeance."
