Book Synopsis The American Prison by : Lynne Goodstein
Download or read book The American Prison written by Lynne Goodstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the dire forecasts of others who had themselves edited books, we proceeded with the project of an edited volume on the American prison, although with more than a little trepidation. We had heard the horror stories of authors turning in their chapters months or years late or never at all, of publishers delaying publication dates, of volumes that read more like patchwork quilts than finely loomed cloth. As if to prove the others wrong, our experience in editing this volume has been mar velous, and we think the volume reflects this. Most likely, the success of our experience and of the volume stems from two elements: first, the professionalism and commitment of the authors themselves; and second, the fact that early in the life of this volume, most of the authors convened for a conference to critique and coordinate the chapters. This book brings together an illustrious group of criminologists and correctional scholars who wrote chapters explicitly for this volume. Co hesiveness was furthered by the charge we gave to each author to (1) present the major issues, (2) review the empirical research, and (3) dis cuss the implications of this work for present and future correctional policy. The goal of this project was to examine the major correctional issues facing prison systems. The chapters scrutinize the issues from the perspective of the system and the individual, from theory to practical and daily management problems, from legal to psychological concerns.

A wild teenager who was given the rare opportunity to distribute cocaine in large quantities in the Philadelphia tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Due to Orlando's connections he spent 12 years living an amazing life and lifestyle, as Orlando takes you on the ins and outs of "the game", and all that comes with it like money, power, women, and event movie stars. Travel along all those years with Orlando, and his crew of three that he would assemble to insulate him from the bullets, and the feds. Where it wouldn't be until 14 years after Orlando began living a lifestyle of a King in America that he would finally be convicted of a crime and sentenced to 15 years of hard time. Walk with Orlando through the old penitentiary as it was called back then, to see, hear, and smell, what it was like to do hard time. So hard that due to Orlando tussling with a prison guard he was thrown in the RHU, better known as the hole, for a one year torture session with the guards. A torture session neither he nor anyone else who assaulted staff was supposed to, live through. It was at that time, that upon Orlando's death, he had an encounter with God. One that would bring him back alive, with the knowledge of a secret from the Bible, and a message from God.
