About the book
This lecture, recorded at the Doing Time conference at the University of Winnepeg, focuses on the United States's prison system's compliance with the FBI in subverting and neutralising movements for social change. Churchill also attacks the prison industrial complex, the mushrooming rate of incarceration in the US, and debunks the media's whitewash of prison injustice, making clear the role of the criminal justice system as an agent of social control.
