Every man who enters the custody of the Indiana Department of Corrections does so in the same condition—naked as the day he was born. Under the wary eyes of prison guards, he and fellow inmates must shower and then de-louse one another. Naked, but not alone, they emerge into their new existence as wards of the DOC. Some of these inmates will spend their prison lives behind tall fences with many restrictions on their activities; others may be released to work outside the prison walls and allowed many liberties. Their fate depends upon the nature and extent of their crimes and the availability of space in the appropriate facility. Prison Profiles delineates the profiles of both the prisons and the prisoners who inhabit them. The book describes the classification system used by the Indiana Department of Correction to determine which inmate is assigned to which institution by following six typical male offenders through the process. Portraying a wide variety of criminals and their crimes, Prison Profiles shows how their sentences may be served under vastly different circumstances. Profiling the facilities, the work investigates the great contrast in levels of security and custody maintained at different types of penal institutions. By studying the backgrounds of the six inmates, monitoring their progress through the classification and assignment procedures, and then witnessing their daily lives behind bars, the reader is introduced to the complex issues involved in the administration of the criminal justice system. The timely topics of crime control, inmate treatment, prison overcrowding and cost containment are addressed. A glossary is provided to explain the vocabulary of the professionals and the vernacular of the prisoners. The following chapter summaries describe what readers may expect to encounter as they examine the profiles. Chapter One: The Reception and Diagnostic Center Follow the fortunes of typical prisoners from fumigation to indoctrination. See how an inmate is assimilated into the prison system from the delousing shower to the psychological testing. Learn about the security levels and custody designations which range from open camps to isolated cells. Find out how the Indiana Department of Corrections decides which prisoner goes where. Chapter Two: Classification Meet a Classification Specialist and look over his shoulder as he conducts interviews with and reviews paperwork of three typical offenders—a drunk driver, a troubled teen, and a middle-aged child abuser. See how the specialist considers the nature of the offense, past criminal history, and test results to determine ideal placement of the offender. Learn why most inmates serve only half of their sentences. Chapter Three: Classification Continued Spend another day with the Classification Specialist, this time in the company of three offenders who spell major trouble for the system—a street-wise drug dealer with diabetes, a quiet murderer with a psychosis, and a violent gangster with a trigger-hot temper. Read their psychological records and learn how staff members try to alert one another to the potential problems they pose. Chapter Four: The Farm Follow the drunk driver to one of the state’s oldest prisons. Learn about the history of the penal system in Indiana--how inmates lived in tents while making the bricks to build dor??????? ??? ?????????? ??? ????????? ??? ???? ?? ????? ?????????? ??? ????? ? ??????????? ?????? ?? ?? ??????? ?? ?? ??? ?????? ??????? ?? ??????? ????????? ????????? ??????? ??? ??????????? ?? ??? ???? ????????? ?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??? ????????? ????????????????? ????? ??? ???????????????? ????? ??????? ?????? ?????????? ???????? ??????? ??? ????? ??????

Research on prisons prior to the prison boom of the 1980s and 1990s focused mainly on inmate subcultures, inmate rights, and sociological interpretations of inmate and guard adaptations to their environment, with qualitative studies and ethnographic methods the norm. In recent years, research has expanded considerably to issues related to inmates' mental health, suicide, managing special types of offenders, risk assessment, and evidence-based treatment programs. The Oxford Handbook of Prisons and Imprisonment provides the only single source that bridges social scientific and behavioral perspectives, providing graduate students with a more comprehensive understanding of the topic, academics with a body of knowledge that will more effectively inform their own research, and practitioners with an overview of evidence-based best practices. Across thirty chapters, leading contributors offer new ideas, critical treatments of substantive topics with theoretical and policy implications, and comprehensive literature reviews that reflect cumulative knowledge on what works and what doesn't. The Handbook covers critical topics in the field, some of which include recent trends in imprisonment, prison gangs, inmate victimization, the use and impact of restrictive housing, unique problems faced by women in prison, special offender populations, risk assessment and treatment effectiveness, prisoner re-entry, and privatization. The Oxford Handbook of Prisons and Imprisonment offers a rich source of information on the current state of institutional corrections around the world, on issues facing both inmates and prison staff, and on how those issues may impede or facilitate the various goals of incarceration.

Our society's preoccupation with crime and fear of crime appears to have shifted its focus to the juvenile offender. Both electronic and print media continuously warn us that juvenile offenders are increasingly younger and more virulent. The demographics of our population suggest that there will only be more juvenile offenders to fear in the near future. All of these concerns arise in a social climate that is characterized by an ever increasing demand for stronger retributive measures against the offender. The belief that only harsh justice will protect us from the ravages of juveniles has become dominant. Increasingly, perceptions and politics, rather than scientific data, dominate policy making with regard to youthful offenders. In Assessing the Youthful Offender: Issues and Techniques, Robert D. Hoge and D. A. Andrews make a restrained, rational, and ultimately persuasive argu ment for the use of standardized psychological assessments in the effective management of youth within juvenile justice systems. They clarify how what we already know about the cause and management of youthful criminal activity can be incorporated into standardized testing and that the information obtained from testing can improve the administration of criminal justice. Moreover, this informa tion is useful whatever the theoretical biases of those who administer the justice system. The efficiency of policies of either retribution, deterrence, or rehabilitation is only enhanced by reliance on data.

The Routledge Handbook on American Prisons is an authoritative volume that provides an overview of the state of U.S. prisons and synthesizes the research on the many facets of the prison system. The United States is exceptional in its use of incarceration as punishment. It not only has the largest prison population in the world, but also the highest per-capita incarceration rate. Research and debate about mass incarceration continues to grow, with mounting bipartisan agreement on the need for criminal justice reform. Divided into four sections (Prisons: Security, Operations and Administration; Types of Offenders and Populations; Living and Dying in Prison; and Release, Reentry, and Reform), the volume explores the key issues fundamental to understanding the U.S. prison system, including the characteristics of facilities; inmate risk assessment and classification, prison administration and employment, for-profit prisons, special populations, overcrowding, prison health care, prison violence, the special circumstances of death row prisoners, collateral consequences of incarceration, prison programming, and parole. The final section examines reform efforts and ideas, and offers suggestions for future research and attention. With contributions from leading correctional scholars, this book is a valuable resource for scholars with an interest in U.S. prisons and the issues surrounding them. It is structured to serve scholars and graduate students studying corrections, penology, institutional corrections, and other related topics.
