Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the country prisons are jammed to capacity and, in extreme cases, barges and mobile homes are used to stem the overflow. Probation officers in some cities have caseloads of 200 and more--hardly a manageable number of offenders to track and supervise. And with about one million people in prison and jail, and two and a half million on probation, it is clear we are experiencing a crisis in our penal system. In Between Prison and Probation, Norval Morris and Michael Tonry, two of the nation's leading criminologists, offer an important and timely strategy for alleviating these problems. They argue that our overwhelmed corrections system cannot cope with the flow of convicted offenders because the two extremes of punishment--imprisonment and probation--are both used excessively, with a near-vacuum of useful punishments in between. Morris and Tonry propose instead a comprehensive program that relies on a range of punishment including fines and other financial sanctions, community service, house arrest, intensive probation, closely supervised treatment programs for drugs, alcohol and mental illness, and electronic monitoring of movement. Used in rational combinations, these "intermediate" punishments would better serve the community than our present polarized choice. Serious consideration of these punishments has been hindered by the widespread perception that they are therapeutic rather than punitive. The reality, however, Morris and Tonry argue, "is that the American criminal justice system is both too severe and too lenient--almost randomly." Systematically implemented and rigorously enforced, intermediate punishments can "better and more economically serve the community, the victim, and the criminal than the prison terms and probation orders they supplant." Between Prison and Probation goes beyond mere advocacy of an increasing use of intermediate punishments; the book also addresses the difficult task of fitting these punishments into a comprehensive, fair and community-protective sentencing system.

Book excerpt: Many offenders who enter our system are under the belief that they are a failure, that they are not capable of change due to their past. Through a Convict's Eyes: An Overlooked View of the Criminal Justice System provides a unique perspective of the current dynamic criminal justice system by fusing the thoughts of a federal probation officer/administrator and a convicted felon. In the criminal justice system we have overlooked, in the author's opinion, the perspective of the individual who has made mistakes and been involved in our criminal justice process. The author believes that society to a large extent has not given credit to what we can learn from those who have committed a crime and gone through the system. Through a Convict's Eyes: An Overlooked View of the Criminal Justice System: Utilizes the belief that even though there will always be a need for prisons to house inmates who have committed serious crimes or refuse to change their behavior, offenders have the potential to become productive members of society with our help and with their own personal belief that they can change. Encourages the reader to look outside the box at innovative practices to assist offenders in giving up a life of crime by being accountable to society and to their victims, as well as feeling confident that society and the system have not given up on them. Engages the reader by providing the perspective of a convict. Students are attracted to Eric because of his honesty and his willingness to accept full responsibility for his actions.
