CRM 3900 - Incarceration

Credits: 4

Mass incarceration affects more people than ever before, yet the realities of incarceration are unknown to most of us. This course looks at prisons, jails, and alternative-to-incarceration programs in terms of daily life, operations, social hierarchies, and social institutions. We will examine what it is like to live, work, and conduct family life inside a total institution. Field trips are required.
Prerequisite(s): CRM 1000 or consent of the instructor.
