Real Cost of Prisons Comix

Comics. Social Justice. Penology. One out of every hundred adults in the U.S. is in prison. This book provides a crash course in what drives mass incarceration, the human and community costs, and how to stop the numbers from going even higher. This volume collects the three comic books published by the Real Cost of Prisons Project. The stories and statistical information in each comic book is thoroughly researched and documented. "I cannot think of a better way to arouse the public to the cruelties of the prison system than to make this book widely available"--Howard Zinn.
