Shackled and Chained: Mass Incarceration in Capitalist America is a thorough examination of mass incarceration, its causes and consequences.

In addition to detailing its historical origins, Puryear provides a detailed examination of the oppressive reality that reigns inside Americaâs prison system. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the âhowâ and âwhyâ of mass incarceration as well as for those seeking a factual account of what it is truly like âinside.â
