Since the 1970s, the corrections system has experienced exponential growth. Over the past four decades, the number of inmates held in US prisons and jails has quadrupled. This massive growth is associated with a number of different issues and challenges within prisons and jails, including overcrowding; gang activity and misconduct; a shift away from rehabilitation and programming; expanded use of solitary confinement; inmates' human rights; criticisms of health care; and massive, publicly funded budgets. Many states now spend more on corrections than on higher education.

This book explores these issues in depth. It takes current topics in institutional corrections and explores the main issues surrounding each. Themes include institutional corrections, prison behavior (including gangs and misconduct), solitary confinement, prison programming, and rehabilitation.

Recenzii

Issues in Corrections: Research, Policy, and Future Prospects provides a thorough review of a number of issues often ignored or given little coverage by other texts in the discipline. Hilinski-Rosick and Walsh use current research from a number of disciplines to explore both traditional (jails, prisons, and gender issues in corrections) and nontraditional (prison gangs, solitary confinement, and correctional education) topics through a modern, insightful lens not often found in texts of this nature. Issues in Corrections should be required reading for any course in corrections where instructors want their students to study current corrections issues in more detail than these issues are given in the traditional survey in corrections textbooks.
