Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An arrest and conviction for trafficking ecstasy can lead to comedy. A character-strewn path of corrections that follows can be entertaining. This is the story of a "book-learnin' smart-ass" who endured a three-year minimum-security prison tour and lived to make fun of it.Lookout is a departure from hardcore prison tales. This one is gonzo and humorous in tone. The story focuses on inmate and administrative follies found in minimum-security lockup and what it's like to endure its coarse subculture. The author's unflinching self-examination details his drug-dealing days, a rehab stint, and his misspent youth.

Download or read book Forms of Constraint written by Norman Bruce Johnston and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigorously documented and generously illustrated, Forms of constraint surveys prison architecture from earliest times to the present. Embedding his discussion of architectural detail in a history of social ideas about prisoners and imprisonment, criminologist Norman Johnston considers the architectural design and features of prisons in light of the purposes they were meant to serve. Johnston describes the preferred types of prison layout in various eras and locations. He assesses the success or failure of building elements in fulfilling goals such as prisoner isolation, segregation by gender or by severity of crime, adequate hygiene, rehabilitative activities, and surveillance of prisoners and guards. As goals and the consequent demands on the physical structure changed, new templates for the ideal prison emerged. Johnston traces the gradual rise of prison design as an architectural specialty and profiles the early figures and organizations devoted to the field, including William Blackburn, the first architect to specialize in prison design; John Haviland, architect of the influential Pennsylvania prison style; and Jeremy and Samuel Bentham, who conceived the much-discussed but never built Panopticon. He describes changes in prison design as architecture and penal philosophy leadership passed from one country to another. He also provides broad coverage of penal methods and prison architecture around the world.

This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by and for incarcerated alcoholics, this slim, staple-less volume contains 26 stories by A.A. members who found their way to the Fellowship and got sober while behind bars. All of these individuals reveal how, through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, they transformed their lives and found serenity despite their surroundings. One after the other, these recovering alcoholics — of all ages and all types — share how they came to grasp that no prison is as formidable as active alcoholism. From one story: “It may sound crazy to feel freedom in jail or prison. But that’s exactly what I have. I’ve known more freedom in these past 15 months than in all my 32 years of life.” Full of clear-sighted honesty, personal revelations and, most of all, hope in the most challenging circumstances, A.A. in Prison: Inmate to Inmate is a must-have piece of literature for incarcerated alcoholics as well as for the A.A. member engaged in service in correctional facilities. A.A. in Prison: Inmate to Inmate has been approved by the General Service Conference.

Download or read book Indians in Prison written by Elizabeth S. Grobsmith and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penologists, social services administra-tors, and students of criminal justice as well as of Indian studies will welcome this groundbreaking study, the product of close observation of and direct involvement on behalf of Indians in the Nebraska state penal system. Opening with a group profile, it discusses in detail the special concerns of that population: cultural and spiritual activities (Indians incarcerated in Nebraska were among the first to seek court permission to practice their religion behind bars), the seriously underestimated rates of alcoholism and drug addiction and the need for culturally appropriate treatment, and high rates of recidivism and their effect on parole. The final chapters present comparative data on Indians incarcerated in other states and offer recommendations for dealing with recurrent problems. Indians in Prison is particularly timely for its focus on how the social environments of Indian youth contribute to their delinquency and substance abuse and how Indians in prison perceive rehabilitation strategies, parole, and the law.ø
