Way Down in the Hole Race, Intimacy, and the Reproduction of Racial Ideologies in Solitary Confinement

"A stunning exposÉ and call to change, Way Down in the Hole lays bare the racism of our criminal justice system as it extends into the horror of solitary confinement. No stone is left unturned; Angela J. Hattery and Earl Smith have made us aware." - Mary Buser (author of Lockdown on Rikers: Shocking Stories of Abuse and Injustice at New York's Notorious Jail) "With passion, clarity, and sociological depth, Professors Hattery and Smith analyze and deconstruct the highest stage of white supremacy in contemporary America: solitary confinement. Way Down in the Hole is antiracist ethnography at its best, an instant classic." - Eduardo Bonilla-Silva (author of Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America) "Earl Smith and Angela J. Hattery provide us with a startling view of how solitary confinement in U.S. prisons both dehumanizes and racializes. Way Down in the Hole is an insightful analysis of this abuse and the structure of racist lies within society by which it is maintained." - Rory McVeigh (author of The Politics of Losing: Trump, the Klan, and the Mainstreaming of Resentment) "A stunning exposÉ and call to change, Way Down in the Hole lays bare the racism of our criminal justice system as it extends into the horror of solitary confinement.
