Book Reviews of Prison and Jail Administration: Practice and Theory
Book Review: Great for a non-Criminal Justice person
Summary: 5 Stars
This book covers just about all the basic topics for running a correctional institution. For people who work in the field, most of it is too basic, but there is still a lot of good information in it that even the most seasoned officer can learn from. I had to have this book for a Grad class, and normally don't write reviews about school books, but this one merits a good word because it is not your typical school book that is only for students. This book would be useful for anyone involved in decision making for jails and prisons (whether they are in the field or not) and those who want to understand more about why we do what we do.
