About This Item
Toronto, Ont.: McClleland & Stewart Inc.. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2002. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0771039611 . Like new. Wonderful copy in an unclipped DJ with very light rubbing. Michael Harriss book about life inside prison is hard-hitting, hair-raising, and certain to be hugely controversial. Con Game shows us that Canadian penitentiaries are effectively run by their inmates. Behind bars, gangs control the booming drug trade and mete out their own rough justice to inmates who break their rules. Guards sit by, prevented from interfering by a succession of court rulings that have limited their authority. Wardens and bureaucrats at Corrections Canada, intent on keeping their desks clean, allow prison murders to be written off as suicides. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 371 pages .
