If you are serious about the corrections exam, then this is the book for you. It covers all areas of the exam, including math, codes, sentence structure, and there is even a section to help prepare you for the physical part of the exam as well. This book will, however, OVERprepare you, which is a GOOD thing. It is far better to be over prepared then not know what you are doing.

Although study guides designed specifically for each corrections officer exam (such as one specifically designed for New York) would be better, this is a very comprehensive study guide, covering lots of different topics on the exam, including tips on how to answer specific types of questions and lots of practice questions. The Chapter on study preparation and evaluating your test taking strengths is great too.

This book is very detailed and provides a lot of useful information to help pass a test. Covers all steps when becoming a Corrections officer. Good book for any corrections officer test.

The book has good information about the prison system, including crime information taken from the Bureau of Criminal Justice Statistics. However, if you are going to take a civil service exam, you might also want to purchase, study and take notes from that book as well.
