This book examines the ways in which prisons are morally communicative institutions, instilling in prisoners particular ideas about the offenses they have committed--ideas that carry implications for prisoners' moral character. Investigating the moral messages contained in the prosaic yet power-imbued processes that make up daily life in custody, Ievins finds that the prison she studied communicated a pervasive sense of disgust and shame, marking the men it held as permanently stained. Rather than promoting accountability, this message discouraged prisoners from engaging in serious moral reflection on the harms they had caused. Analyzing these effects, Ievins explores the role that imprisonment plays as a response to sexual harm, and the extent to which it takes us closer to and further from justice.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA highly original and empirically grounded account of what imprisonment communicates and fails to communicate to men convicted of sexual offenses.
