Popis: I reflect on imprisonment and how ideology must be disentangled from historical realities. The social-historical picture suggests imprisonment was a multifunctional practice that only occasionally intersected with the detention of criminals and almost never, if at all, related to the rehabilitation or punishment of criminals. Yet ideology came to be attached to imprisonment in literature and rituals that offers a very different vision of the goals of imprisonment at the dawn of history. I conclude this book with a discussion about the role history can play in helping to create change in social institutions.
