Summary

Behind Bars: Readings on Prison Culture is an inside look at some of the most important and most challenging aspects of life in prison. The readings focus on psychological adaptations to incarceration, how inmates form and maintain relationships in and outside of prison, health issues and how officials can and do address such needs, programming opportunities, forms of violence, how the media presents images of prisons and correctional issues, and the challenges faced when leaving prison. Through in-depth examination of these topics readers are provided an essential understanding that can only be gained from looking at the experience of incarceration from the inside. Book jacket.
