The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System
Skarbek, David (Lecturer, Lecturer, Kings College London)
In today's prisons, gangs protect inmates and enforce deals in illicit markets. In doing so, prison gangs promote order in prison. This book uses economics to explore the secret world of the convict culture, inmate hierarchy, and prison gang politics to explain why and how prison gangs form and operate.
