IMPROVISED
WEAPONS
IN AMERICAN PRISONS
by Jack Luger
"The most interesting weapons book to come out in years!"
The story of prison weapons is fascinating, because of the difficult conditions under which prison inmates must acquire them. In some of the most repressive, most controlled environments on Earth, prisoners still make and use weapons.
It would be unrealistic to romanticize this. The story of prisoners and their weapons is not evidence of the unquenchability of the human spirit against adversity, or anything like it. In reality, weapons made by prisoners are usually crude and made for sordid ends. The photographs in this book will make that point convincingly.
Improvised Weapons In American Prisons covers in vast detail the kinds of weapons used in prisons, how they are used, whom they are used against, and how they are made. Complete sections, with many rare photographs, cover knives, garottes, firebombs, blunt instruments, and even guns. The author also covers the hiding places in prison, prison smuggling,
and escapes.
Highlighting the easy-to-read informative text are more than four dozen photographs of actual weapons, made and used by prisoners throughout the United States. Improvised Weapons In American Prisons is the most fascinating weapons book to be published in years! Be sure to order your copy now.
1985, 5½ x 8½, 90 pp, photographs, soft cover.
