Reviews for Forms of Constraint: A HISTORY OF PRISON ARCHITECTURE
"Norman Johnston knows more about the history of prisons and prison architecture than anyone in the world. Forms of Constraint is a superb piece of scholarship, fascinating for laypersons and extraordinarily functional for architects and historians of penology. There is nothing like it anywhere else." Marvin E. Wolfgang, author of Collective Violence
