Reviews

A popular view of prisons is that they are violent, unproductive, filthy, and breed crime. DiIulio does not believe that prisons have to be that way, and in this book, describes prison management in Texas (which uses a control model), Michigan (a responsibility model), and California (a combined model). He urges that prisons be ruled as constitutional governments, with prison authorities who are strong enough to control inmates but compassionate enough to gain respect. This well-written scholarly analysis is recommended for large urban public and academic libraries.Sandra K. Lindheimer, Middlesex Law Lib., Cambridge, Mass.
