<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book provides the first in-depth history of immigration detention in the United States. Employing extensive archival research to document the origins and development of immigration detention in the U.S. from 1973 to 2000, it reveals how the world's largest detention system originated in the U.S. government's campaign to exclude Haitians from American shores, and how resistance by Haitians and their allies constantly challenged the detention regime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Immigrants make up the largest proportion of federal prisoners in the United States, incarcerated in a vast network of more than two hundred detention facilities. This book investigates when detention became a centerpiece of U.S. immigration policy. <em>Detain and Punish</em> reveals why the practice was reinstituted in 1981 after being halted for several decades and how the system expanded to become the world's largest immigration detention regime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Provides a valuable road map of the tangled law and politics of U.S. immigration policies."--<i><b>Foreign Affairs</i></b><br>
