Rezensionen

"This collection covers conceptual, empirical, and methodological aspects of a field of study that focuses on 'prison and jail tourism, penal museums, and other sites of carceral memorialization around the world.' ... In bringing together this array of international scholars and administrators, many of whom have published previously on these topics but too frequently in obscure or difficult-to-locate journals, the editors have surely performed a public, as well as academic, service."
