"The Pains of Mass Imprisonment is an incredibly important text for anyone who is interested in understanding more about incarceration and its consequences. This second edition offers timely examples that have emerged over the last decade (e.g., COVID-19), updated research, and a new chapter on migrant detention. The latter is an issue that has perhaps never been more relevant given the current political climate... 'Stories from the Inside' are another welcome addition. These accounts of lived experiences are not only compelling, they highlight the tragic lack of humanity that those who experience incarceration often endure and why this must change."

"Migration and Mortality is a timely, thorough, and compelling volume. Its focus on 'social death' to capture a variety of experiences - some of which amount to suffering that translates into 'slow death,' while others encompass death more literally - is creative, novel, and needed. This book is a significant contribution to migration studies."

"Using a magnifying lens to study immigrant bashing in his hometown, Jamie Longazel brings into sharp focus the anti-Latino racism at the heart of national politics today. Even as we as a society struggle to build solidarity across racial divisions, powerful forces seek advantage in tearing us farther apart. The concentrated focus of Undocumented Fears helps us understand not only why this occurs but also how we might help replace fear with friendship, social division with a sense of shared humanity."

"This concise and engaging book presents a critical perspective on the correctional system and the process of incarceration in the United States. Fleury-Steiner and Longazel emphasize the magnitude of mass imprisonment... not by objective statistics and trends, but by the voices and lived experiences of individuals who live their harsh conditions on a daily basis. This is an ideal book for courses in corrections, social problems, criminology, and prisoner re-entry."
