Keepers: Workers in Total Institutions

Keepers presents twelve monologues culled from over 60 interviews with workers in prisons, long-stay hospitals, and other total institutions. Through the stories of these modern "dungeons", the book explores questions about autonomy, freedom, love and individuality. It also sheds light on the relationship between a closed environment and those individuals who serve in it or suffer from it. Keepers is both a tale of the modern inferno as told by its keepers, as well as an examination of the nature and limitations of certain aspects of human relationships.
