Revolution in Penology
Rethinking the Society of Captives
By Maja Sørnes - Thursday, October 14, 2010
By Bruce A. Arrigo and Dragan Milovanovic

 from the publishers webpage:

Revolution in Penology is a thoroughly original and thought-provoking critique of penal harm, the recursive pains of imprisonment cycle, and the normalization of violence. Relying on selected insights derived from continental philosophy, cultural studies, and chaos theory, internationally renowned social theorists, Bruce A. Arrigo and Dragan Milovanovic, deconstruct the human agency/social structure duality that sustains the prison form, its parts and segments understood as correctional principles/practices, and the prison industrial complex that is informed by and stands above them all.

Includes insights derived from continental philosophy, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and complex systems science
