Judicial Policy Making and the Modern State: How the Courts Reformed America's Prisons - Cambridge Studies in Criminology
Feeley, Malcolm M. (University of California, Berkeley)
Between 1965 and 1990, federal judges in almost all of the states handed down sweeping rulings that affected virtually every prison and jail in the United States. This book provides an account of this process, and uses it to explore the more general issue of the role of courts in the modern bureaucratic state.
