Exploring the rise of incarceration rates in the U.S., this book delves into Florida's faith and character-based correctional institutions (FCBIs) as a proposed solution to prison overcrowding. While marketed as inclusive, these facilities are predominantly Protestant and align with Christian right politics. Through in-depth ethnographic research, the author examines the complex dynamics faced by inmates, staff, and administrators, revealing how FCBIs exemplify the intersection of conservative Christian values and neoliberal economic principles.
