Corrections in the USA, 2nd Edition

Corrections in the USA provides a unique approach to learning about corrections by focusing on procedures and skills rather than theoretical perspectives of corrections. Based on real operational guidelines used in prisons today, the book aids the student in understanding what a correctional officer actually does, and what is expected of correctional officers.
