5.0 out of 5 stars
Provides a comprehensive guide for managing prisons.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prison and Jail Administration: Practice and Theory (Paperback)
Dr. Carlson has extensive background in correctional administration. His book provides the reader with numerous examples (both practical and theoretical) for managing correctional facilities. I plan to use this text teaching undergraduate studies in correctional administration. (Robert A. Hood - McMinnville, Oregon)

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great overview of correctional institution operations.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prison and Jail Administration: Practice and Theory (Paperback)
The collection of authors in this compendium is excellent...they seem to know the business and have a sense of what it's like on the inside of a prison. I was impressed with how the authors have organized the material and their selection of academics (professors) and "pracademics" (practical world experts) who have contributed to the book. Overall....top notch.

Very Good College Text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prison and Jail Administration: Practice and Theory (Paperback)
The book is well-suited for a semester course in correctional institution administration. Topics are well chosen and the various authors seem to know the prison business. Although the chapters are abbreviated, they all seem to cover the subjects adequately ... for a survey course. I would use this as a text.
