The feel-good place to buy books
Prison and Plantation by Michael S Hindus
This broad, comparative study examines the social, economic, and legal contexts of crime and authority in two vastly different states over a one hundred year period. Massachusetts -- an urban, industrial, and heterogeneous northern state -- chose the penitentiary in its attempt to minimize the role of informal and extralegal authority while South Carolina -- a rural southern slave state -- systematically reduced its formal legal institutions, frequently relying on vigilantism.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.-
