 The best textbook on corrections available! October 8, 2000
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm using this textbook in my community college course on corrections -- and I can't image how any book could be better. The book is built around a theme of professionalism in corrections and makes me want to work as a corrections officer -- and makes me want to improve the field. If you are interested in a career in corrections this book is for you -- whether or not you are currently in school.

Book was sold as a used book, but book was in more than perfect condition, and the fastest shipping clear across the US i've ever seen from a book, if your book is available from this seller BUY IT.

I received my books within days NOT weeks as thought, had a chance to review the book before my classes started.
This will be the first place I look for new & used books.
Thanks so much for the quick service
