Hugunin, who for over 50 years has wandered the prisons and jails of the western world (with occasional side visits to Asian and African lock-ups), integrates the pictorial and the analytic to present sociological, narrative, and philosophic insights into the prison experience. Using both semiotic and psychoanalytic approaches, he reconstitutes a sense of the complexity of the carceral as it functions physically, idealogically, and as an economy of desire. In addition, he conveys the variety and richness of dissenting, marginal voices. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
