I received this textbook in a timely manner and as it was advertised. It is nice not to have to pay the ridiculous book store prices, thanks to these used textbook sellers.

CORRECTIONS IN AMERICA,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Corrections in America (11th Edition) (Hardcover)
I am not completely done with the text. I am about halfway through the book. Within this class, this book is truly worth reading. The chapters are only a few pages in length....the longest I found was about 8 pages long. The chapters read very easily and the information is never boring. A good book for a class.
