This book examines the everyday social life of the prisoners - their daily activities and routines, the social relationships and networks they created, and the strategies they developed to cope with the harsh conditions and the brutalities of the guards. The author explores the complexity of the the multicultural prisoner society and the hidden social practices that enabled prisoners to preserve their human dignity and create a sense of individuality and community despite the appalling circumstances.
