The collaborative work of Larry L. Franklin and Rakesh Chandra, “Supermax Prison: Controlling The Most Dangerous Prisoners” is a penetrating look at the violence that swept the American prison system in the 1980’s and 1990’s and the organizational structure mirroring the Mafia that erupted in them. The inmates had to make a choice between joining a gang that offered protection, friendships, financial rewards, access to drugs and other contraband or serving as a lone inmate in a dangerous, even lethal world. The worst in this violent world were sent to the supermax prison, Tamms, located in Illinois. “Supermax Prison” is the story of Tamms and the men incarcerated there. Impressively informed and informative, “Supermax Prison: Controlling The Most Dangerous Prisoners” is a deftly crafted and extraordinary study that is highly and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library, Contemporary American Judicial System collections and supplemental studies lists. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of criminology students, governmental prison policy makers, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that “Supermax Prison” is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $2.99).
