Leonard Orland provides a vivid look at the end of the line in the American legal system, where the rule of law gives way to the "correctional process."

Prisons: House of Darkness reveals the lawlessness by which sentencing judges, prison authorities, and parole boards actually operate.

Orland shares an eye-opening history of prisons and an overview of daily prison routine from Attica to Soledad--much of it related in the inmates' own words--which shatters the myth of rehabilitation and exposes the injustices of prison life.
