People abandoned by families or lacking health insurance, or those who cannot afford bail, often cycle in and out of jails.In America’s Jails, Derek Jeffreys draws on sociology, philosophy, history, and his personal experience volunteering in jails and prisons to provide an understanding of the jail experience from the inmates’ perspective, focusing on the stigma that surrounds incarceration.
