Download or read book Doing Prison Work written by Elaine M Crawley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a much-needed sociological account of the social world of the English prison officer, making an original contribution to our understanding of the inner life of prisons in general and the working lives of prison officers in particular. As well as revealing how the job of the prison officer - and of the prison itself - is accomplished on a day-to-day basis, the book explores not only what prison officers do but also how they feel about their work. In focusing on how prison officers feel about their work this book makes a number of interesting revelations - about the essentially domestic nature of much of the work they do, about the degree of emotional labour invested in it and about the performance nature of many of the day-to-day interactions between officers and prisoners. Finally, the book follows the prison officer home after work, showing how the prison can spill over into their home lives and family relationships. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in different types of prisons (including interviews with prison officers' wives and children as well as prison officers themselves), this book will be essential reading for all those with an interest in how prisons and organisations more generally operate in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new paradigm for supervising offenders in the community Environmental Corrections is an innovative guide filled with rich insights and strategies for probation and parole officers to effectively integrate offenders back into the community and reduce recidivism. Authors Lacey Schaefer, Francis T. Cullen, and John E. Eck move beyond traditional models for interventions and build directly on the applied focus of environmental criminology theories.

Book excerpt: Step into a world behind the walls of a maximum-security prison, where an unlikely allyship between three people who are supposed to be sworn enemies unfolds into something greater: a revolutionary movement for the American prison system. In this completely true life story, a former correctional officer of 14 years, a prisoner doing time for murder, and a former victim of violent crime, reveal with candid honesty how they found themselves seeing eye-to-eye and coming together in the shared desire to push for restorative justice and true correction in correctional facilities, from all sides -ultimately co-writing this book with the hopes that society will begin to see the urgent need for huge changes in America's prison system. Whether you've had any experience with the prison system or not, or are intrigued by prison reform, the story of this unique partnership will give you an eye-opening and human look not only at how the prison system works, but at how beliefs are built and broken down. See how time, observation, and reflection forces each of the authors to take a hard look at what they believe and experience the triumphs and struggles they both navigate in holding fast to some of those beliefs-and completely dismantling others. Get an inside perspective into how they each ultimately decide to climb out of the "prisoner" or "prison guard" or "victim" boxes and find common ground in a shared commitment for change. Discover what made all of them rebel against the system at the risk of alienation, or worse, from their peers in their quest for this change. And most importantly, understand the why and how behind their case for ground- breaking reform. Bring your open mind and curiosity to this book and walk away with a nuanced awareness of the hidden sides of the American prison system and what can be done to make it better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Innovative New Text That Addresses a Critical Issue Nearly 2,000 people are released from prison every day in the United States, many of whom face significant barriers to re-entry into the civilian population. Within three years, two-thirds of them will be rearrested, and nearly half will return to prison for a new crime or parole violation.

Bringing together cutting-edge and never-before-published research, and authored by the most critically recognized experts in the field, this text offers students extraordinary insight into the experiences of both offenders in reentry and the practitioners who work within the legal system. Real-world stories from criminal justice professionals and offenders themselves are integrated with up-to-the minute research and thought-provoking analysis. Student-oriented pedagogical features, including critical-thinking and discussion questions for every chapter, push students to engage deeply with the text and synthesize their own innovative solutions to contemporary problems. The text addresses all of the societal factors that affect offender reentry, as well as the political and economic effects on the community and issues of public safety. Ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in criminal justice and criminology, Offender Reentry is an invaluable new addition to the field.
