Book Description
Presents a comprehensive view of prison photography in the USA from its 19th-century beginnings to the present. The author gives a nuanced analysis of the shifting boundaries between "outsiders" and "insiders" in the encounter between the photographer and the prison system. The text shows not only the complexities of prison photography as a genre, but the ways in which society more generally responds to the phenomenon of incarceration.
