Narrated by a professor and journalist who founded the Prison-to-College Pipeline to educate incarcerated men and guarantee them a place in college upon release,<i>Incareration Nations: In Search of Justice in Prisons Around the World</i>&nbsp;offers a window into a world most are denied access to, while touching on issues pertinent to our understanding of how prison is functioning (or not) in our world today.<br><br>From serving as a restorative justice facilitator in a notorious South African prison and working with genocide survivors in Rwanda who launch a prison visiting program, to teaching a creative writing class in an overcrowded Ugandan prison and coordinating a drama workshop for women prisoners in Thailand, Baz Dreisinger delves into the world behind bars with empathy and intellect. She journeys to Jamaica to visit a prison music program, to Singapore to learn about approaches to prisoner reentry, to Australia to grapple with the bottom line of private prisons, to a federal supermax in Brazil to confront the horros of solitary confinement, and finally to the model prisons of Norway. Ultimately,<i>Incarceration Nations</i>&nbsp;invites us to radically rethink one of America's most devastating exportations, the modern prison system, and--by bearing witness to its human costs--acts as a call to arms, showing us how and why this unjust system urgently needs our attention.
