"Smith, the preeminent scholar on correctional law in criminal justice, has produced a fascinating overview and analysis of the Supreme Court's decision-making process and the development of constitutional law, using prisoners' rights litigation to frame his analysis. This is a significant contribution to the literature on constitutional law and the Eighth Amendment." (Craig Hemmens, Professor and Chair, Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, Washington State University, USA)
"A fascinating look into how presidential appointment and shifting alliances on the Supreme Court shape the degree to which legal protections are both extended and restricted within prison settings. Smith deftly navigates both the legal literature and the behind the scenes machinations of Court actors to provide an interesting and compelling look at how the fight over prisoners' rights is oftentimes far removed from the reality of prison life itself." (John D. Burrow, Assistant Professor, The College of Criminal Justice, University of South Carolina, USA)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
