""Supermax" prisons, conceived by the United States in the early 1980s, are typically
reserved for convicted political criminals such as terrorists and spies and for other
inmates who are considered to pose a serious ongoing threat to the wider community,
to the security of correctional institutions, or to the safety of other inmates. Prisoners
are usually restricted to their cells for up to twenty-three hours a day and typically
have minimal contact with other inmates and correctional staff. Not only does the
Federal Bureau of Prisons operate one of these facilities, but almost every state
has either a supermax wing or stand-alone supermax prison. The Globalization of Supermax
Prisons examines why nine advanced industrialized countries have adopted the supermax
prototype, paying particular attention to the economic, social, and political processes
that have affected each state. Featuring essays that look at the U.S.-run prisons
of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo, this collection seeks to determine if the American
model is the basis for the establishment of these facilities and considers such issues
as the support or opposition to the building of a supermax and why opposition efforts
failed; the allegation of human rights abuses within these prisons; and the extent
to which the decision to build a supermax was influenced by developments in the United
States. Additionally, contributors address such domestic matters as the role of crime
rates, media sensationalism, and terrorism in each country's decision to build a supermax
prison."--Publisher's website
