Więcej o książce

The book delves into the rise of incarceration rates in the U.S. since the 1970s, particularly during the Reagan era, and explores innovative solutions proposed by Florida's Department of Corrections, specifically faith and character-based correctional institutions (FCBIs). While marketed as inclusive, FCBIs predominantly reflect Protestant influences tied to the Christian right. Through in-depth ethnographic research, Stoddard examines the complex dynamics and choices faced by inmates and staff, revealing the interplay between conservative Christian values and neoliberal economic policies within these institutions.
