Hat tip: the Global Sociology Blog.

This video shows the proliferation of prisons in the US made by Paul Rucker As the glob soc says, a timeline would be nice (although you could say that the abstract nature of the video adds to its appeal), and it's a bit long but I love the way the audio links in with the movement. I also like the way the outline of the US slowly appears as more and more prisons get created- if only the subject of hyper-imprisonment wasn't so depressing...
