Sobre este artículo
Columbia, Missouri: University of Missouri Press, 1981. 196pp. Light brown cloth, black lettering on the spine. Except for toning to the page extremities, this is an unread, fine copy. Black and white photographs throughout. Unclipped pictorial jacket is like new in mylar sleeve. "Journalists John McCoy and Ethan Hoffman spent four months inside the walls of the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla in 1978, just as Washington, once a leader in prison reform, abandoned its focus on reform and rehabilitation and returned to cell time and punishment. It was a brutal transition. McCoy and Hoffman roamed the maximum-security compound almost at will, observing and befriending prisoners and guards. The result is a striking depiction of a community in which there was little to do, much to fear, and a culture that both mimicked and scorned the outside world. McCoy s unadorned prose and Hoffman s stunning black-and-white photographs offer as authentic a portrayal of life in the Big House as outsiders are ever likely to experience.. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Oblong 10 3/4" x 8 3/4".
