Food, dignity, and punishment behind bars
Leslie Soble examines food as part of the experience of incarceration, framing prison meals not simply as a matter of sustenance but as an issue bound up with punishment and human dignity. The book brings attention to the food crisis affecting incarcerated people in the United States and asks what is at stake in the food served behind bars.
