TOPIC: MASS INCARCERATION IN
CAPITALIST AMERICA
Shackled and Chained: Mass Incarceration in Capitalist America
is a thorough examination of mass incarceration, its causes and
consequences. Eugene Puryear examines the evolution of mass
incarceration as a product of U.S. monopoly capitalism as well as
bipartisan political allegiance to the system’s needs. In addition to
detailing its historical origins, Puryear provides a detailed
examination of the oppressive reality that reigns inside America’s
prison system. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the
“how” and “why” of mass incarceration as well as for those seeking a
factual account of what it is truly like “inside.”
