I had to get this book for class, but it is a great book in that it covers the history of corrections as well as the problems that are facing the Corrections communities today.

So far the text seems fine. However, I was not happy with the seller. The condition of the book was not as promised. It was listed as new and having a cd; the book was not new and there was no cd. WILL NOT PURCHASE FROM SELLER AGAIN AND DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Professor Welch's book has allowed me to recognize that it is not being human that is the problem so much as being human amongst humans. This book offers broad perspective on criminal justice system that is both realistic and very direct. Professor Welch's presentation of our criminal justice system 'the way it really is' challenged my range of beliefs that came to exist from channels of expectations that did not belong to me at all, but belonged to the continent of what the field of being human has decided we must all feel, think, and share. The book is straightforwardly read and intriguing, and I recommend it to any individual who is ready to be challenged. I just wish I'd known sooner what our criminal justice system does not tell. Despite CORRECTIONS: A CRITICAL APPROACH, I also recommend Michael Welch's PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA.
