The provocative title suggests that in the future everyone will go to jail for 15 minutes, but the contents do not reflect that bias. The 12 contributions provide students of criminal justice with perspectives from sociology, corrections, and criminology on such aspects as varying ideologies of punishment, the politics of crime and punishment, the treatment needs of women in prison, INS detention centers, and boot camps. Intended as a supplementary reader for a course. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
