Impermissible Punishments by Judith Resnik examines the rise of modern prison systems and their troubling parallels with plantations and concentration camps. The book highlights society’s repeated failures to distinguish lawful punishment from inhumane treatment and argues that governments committed to equality must reform harmful incarceration practices.
