After examining the changing role of the Federal courts in moving from a 'hands-off' policy with respect to prison administration to one of intervention, the constitutional rights of prisoners are explained under the principles of first amendment rights, due process of law, cruel and unusual punishment, equal protection of the laws, unreasonable searches and seizures, and slavery and involuntary servitude. Fifteen representative excerpts from Federal court opinions illustrate the relationship between enforceable constitutional rights and the administrative management of penal institutions, giving a general preview of how courts view the balance between what the Constitution may have intended and what prison administrators have in their discretion provided or withheld : The excerpts mirror the types of deliberations recorded by the Federal judiciary in the 1970's when confronted by litigation pertaining to the constitutional rights of prisoners. A section is then devoted to judicial opinions on alleged unconstitutional conditions and practices in U.S. jails and prisons. The issues covered are access to the courts, rehabilitation, pretrial detainees, visiting privileges, disciplinary hearings, religion, medical treatment, intrastate transfers, transfers to segregation, and interstate transfers. Additional issues include open-cell policy in isolation, cell size and 'double celling, ' punitive isolation, assaults by prisoners or staff, protective custody, mail rights, prisoners' labor unions, totality of conditions, prison staffs, Civil Rights Act, and escapes. The appendixes provide abbreviations and definitions, a table of cases, a consent decree, an extensive annotated bibliography, standards, and related constitutional amendments.

Two of the nation's foremost criminal justice scholars present a comprehensive assessment of the factors behind the growth and subsequent overcrowding of American prisons. By critiquing the existing scholarship on prison scale from sociology and history to correctional forecasting and economics, they both reveal that explicit policy changes have had little influence on the increases in imprisonment in recent years and analyze whether it is possible to place limits effectively on prison population. "The Scale of Imprisonment has an exceptionally well designed literature review of interest to public policy, criminal justice, and public law scholars. Its careful review, analysis, and critique of research is stimulating and inventive."—American Political Science Review "The authors fram our thoughts about the soaring use of imprisonment and stimulate our thinking about the best way we as criminologists can conduct rational analysis and provide meaningful advice."—Susan Guarino-Ghezzi, Journal of Quantitative Criminology "Zimring and Hawkins bring a long tradition of excellent criminological scholarship to the seemingly intractable problems of prisons, prison overcrowding, and the need for alternative forms of punishment."—J. C. Watkins, Jr., Choice

In the late 20th century, the United States experienced an incarceration explosion. Over the course of twenty years, the imprisonment rate quadrupled, and today more than than 1.5 million people are held in state and federal prisons. Arizona's Department of Corrections came of age just as this shift toward prison warehousing began, and soon led the pack in using punitive incarceration in response to crime. Sunbelt Justice looks at the development of Arizona's punishment politics, policies, and practices, and brings to light just how and why we have become a mass incarceration nation.
