Description

Prison Management, Prison Workers, and Prison Theory explores how prison infrastructure, organization, and policy shape the culture and morality within prisons. Effective managers prioritize prison workers to meet both external social demands of imprisonment and internal operational needs.

The book argues that prison administrators need to unify staff under a new conception of the institution, examining current power structures for opportunities to improve. This analysis provides insight into criminology, criminal justice, prison theory, policy studies, and labor studies.
