Reviews¦I really like the approach the author has taken, the way he has injected his personal experiences. It's clear from the beginning that here is a person who has been there and experienced much relating to jails.¦¦J.M. Moynahan, Chairman, Criminal Justice, Eastern Washington University From reading the book the reader not only gains information about jails but an understanding of them. The book offers at the same time a personal and a clincal analysis of jails through the use of personal accounts and experiences. The author presents the good, the bad, and the ugly about jails. -Petrial Reporter A must read book for corrections professionals and ethusiasts. This book will stimulate new ideas and interest in the world of corrections to all who read it. -MASCA This is an imaginative book on jails and is strongly recommended for college students, jail personnel, and policy makers. -ACRIM Newsletter
