Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology: Comparative Studies in Detention, Incarceration and Solitary Confinement

Reiter, Keramet; Koenig, Alexa

The contributors empirically demonstrate how the mentally ill, non-citizen immigrants, and enemy combatants are treated like criminals in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.
