Recenzii
‘If you want to know what it’s like inside that place, this book is the next best thing to a ten-year stretch’
‘A major contribution to New Zealand’s penal history’
‘This is truly a detailed history of an unsavoury subject, the scope of which is quite remarkable.’
‘Derby’s tendency to keep the narrative local and lead with the stories of people and events helps make the book an incredibly engaging read. Derby does a great job developing the kind of thick description of penal practice and life inside that is nearly impossible to find in existing published work. I consider Rock College a must-read’
