Comment

(hangon) This book is used in many college sociology courses concerning social control. It has been reviewed and editorilized by other sociologists and psychologists in the book. It is a rare look inside a American prison system, and how it achieves and fails at different aspects of the criminal justice system.

I've declined the speedy deletion request on this occasion but this page will almost certainly be deleted unless sources are provided to show its notability. A very quick googling seems to show that sources do exist, but until they're added this page will continue being nominated for deletion. I've saved it from deletion twice, but I'm not going to do so indefinitely, and I don't know enough (eg, anything) about the subject to expand it myself. — iridescent 16:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found one that actually does talk about Hassine:

Chevigny, Bell Gale. "Hate is a cash crop." The Nation 266.n14 (April 20, 1998): 29(3). Academic OneFile. Gale. San Francisco Public Library. 27 Mar. 2010

I also found a few discussing his book and one about his suicide, but I'm really not convinced this establishes notability. Listing for {{prod}}. --Darkwind (talk) 19:16, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just finished reading Victor Hassine's "Life without Parole (4th edition) Living in Prison Today". I must say that he sure was very brave in writing this book. He explained clearly what us many readers wondered about the steps of being arrested and going to prison. I highly appreciate all of his works, and I wish that his life wasn't wasted.
