In the United States today, one in every 31 adults is under some form of penal control, including one in 11 African American men. How did the "land of the free" become the home of the world's largest prison system? Challenging the belief that America's prison problem originated with the Reagan administration's War on Drugs, Elizabeth Hinton traces the rise of mass incarceration to an ironic source: the social welfare programs of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society at the height of the civil rights era.

Years before she became the celebrated speaker and Unity minister she is today, Edwene Gaines was raising her daughter in abject poverty. Overwhelmed and terrified, she turned toward her faith for reassurance, sustenance, and finally for direction. What seemed impossible at the time, she did anyway. She gave away 10 percent of every cent that came to her, and when her income tripled in a matter of six months, she knew it was the work of God.

First published in monthly parts from March 1852 to September 1853, this novel follows the fortunes of three pedestrian characters; Esther Summerson, Ada Clare, and Richard Carstone. The story they tell embondies Dickens' merciless indictment of the Court of Chancery and its bungling, morally corrupt handling of the endless case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, giving the novel its scope and meaning.

Racial discrimination. Sexual harassment. Off-shore accounts. Inflated and biased attacks on “hate.” These are some of the many reasons Americans should mistrust the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Southern Poverty Law Center started with noble intentions and has done much good over the years, but a pernicious corruption has undermined the organization’s original mission and contributed to a climate of fear and hostility in America. Hotels, web platforms, and credit card companies have blacklisted law-abiding Americans because the SPLC disagrees with their political views. The ...

Southwell Workhouse: 1860–1869 is a forensic examination of a Victorian institution at the height of its administrative maturity. This third volume in the Southwell Workhouse series traces a decade not of scandal or collapse, but of consolidation—when the Poor Law learned how to absorb reform, satisfy scrutiny, and endure without becoming humane. Drawing exclusively on documentary evidence, this study follows the daily mechanics of control: classification, labour, diet, punishment, inspection, and record-keeping. The workhouse of the 1860s was cleaner, more efficient, and more ...

By the 1850s, the workhouse no longer proves itself. The experiment is over. The system continues. This second volume traces a decade inside Southwell Workhouse where hardship becomes routine and “proper management” becomes a language of control. Through dietaries that regulate hunger, classifications that decide fate, labour imposed as a test, punishment administered as procedure, and medical care weighed against cost, the workhouse is shown not as a moment of crisis, but as an institution made ordinary. Ordinary rules. Hard realities. Last resort.
