A study of the sociology of the prison as institution, social system and context for interaction.

We discuss overcrowding in correctional institutions and other issues. Students are encouraged to think sociologically, critically, systemically and as compassionate ethical human beings about those incarcerated or enmeshed in the widening net of social controls in communities. Method of Evaluation: Exams and paper. Meets *LAS Distribution Requirement.
