Review
"Ann Chih Lin reopens the debate on rehabilitation while recognizing all the pitfalls that occurred under the concept of rehabilitation, such as indeterminate sentencing. She effectively uses implementation theory and aptly applies it to penal theory. Her book could become standard reading on penology and criminal justice in the United States." -- Kathleen McDermott, Columbia University
"Reform in the Making is based on rich empirical detail from which the author constructs an account of rehabilitation programs in the specific context of prison life. The mundane realities of 'doing time' both as prisoner and as prison employee are carefully described. So too are the dilemmas of wrestling with the dual challenges of surviving and attaining some degree of satisfaction under daunting conditions. The book's case studies make a valuable empirical contribution to implementation studies, and especially to the growing body of work adopting a 'street-level' perspective." -- Evelyn Z. Brodkin, University of Chicago
. . . its innovation and great contribution is how it frames the issues . . . . [A] thoughtful and well-conceived book. -- Malcolm M. Feeley University of California, Berkeley

Review
An important and convincing book. . . . A welcome addition to the literature on both the implementation of social policy and the study of prisons. . . . Thoughtful and well-conceived.
(Malcolm M. Feeley Law and Politics Book Review )
Lin's acceptance of the problem of any general rehabilitative program in prison is her strong point, and the great value of this book. Putting grand theory behind helps to point the way out of the miasma and double-bind of prison life.
(Larry E. Sullivan Contemporary Sociology ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
