"In Poland, as in the United States, the stated aim of imprisonment is to resocialize inmates to prepare them to reenter normal society. But in a country where every eighth adult male has gone to prison, over 30 percent more than once, the efficacy of incarceration has been called into question. Moczydtowski set out to discover that feature of prison which might account for the failure of the penal system. He found it in the prison's unique social structure."--BOOK JACKET. "The secret life of prisons, he finds, is generated by three groups of relations: in the prisoners' community, in the community of prison functionaries, and in the relations between the prisoners and the functionaries. His description of the origins and functions of these hidden relationships is both a unique look at life behind bars in an Eastern European country and an important contribution to comparative criminology."--BOOK JACKET.
