Reviews

"Perhaps no historical environment is better for revealing the force with which race, class, and gender shape American life than a prison. The evidence here demonstrates beyond contradiction that finances drive public policy, especially when they should not. Montana Justice will be a welcome addition to western history, but also to the many disciplines that concern themselves with the human condition in modern America."oAnne M. Butler, Utah State University
