Book Description
"This second edition of readings on correctional and penal institutions answers admirably the present need of the campus community for a general, all-purpose text, and that of the correctional practitioner and administrator for an up-to-date review of the literature of the field. For the nonprofessional, interested citizen the anthology provides a general portrait of these institutions, seen in both theoretical and practical perspectives...Not only does this edition present an historical review of correctional and penal institutions and examine the current state of achievement, but it serves a particular need in pointing to the requirements of the future..."--Foreword.

Book Description
Criminologist Johnson is one of the few westerners to have access to Japanese prisons. His account pivots on the characteristics of the major elements, how personnel carry out their responsibilities, and why duties and activities are carried out in a particular way. He explores cultural reasons for the low number of convicted criminals going to prison, and attributes the low degree of prison violence to the industrial operations of adult prisons and the education, vocational training, and counseling in juvenile prisons.

Book Description
COMPLETING ELMER H. JOHNSON'S impressive three-volume examination of corrections in Japan, Linking Community and Corrections in Japan (written with the assistance of Carol H. Johnson) focuses on the Rehabilitation Bureau's responsibilities regarding probation, parole, and aftercare as well as the Correction Bureau's role in Japan's version of community-oriented corrections. In Linking Community and Corrections in Japan, Johnson first outlines the tasks of the Rehabilitation Bureau, then turns to historic and contemporary views of community and corrections. In discussions of the probation and parole system for both adults and juveniles, he describes in detail the Japanese version of supervision and the return of prisoners to the community. One strength of this study is Johnson's impartiality. As an investigator, he functions as a "friend of the court", an adviser who is free to conduct an objective pursuit of the fundamental strengths and shortcomings of the Japanese prison system. He also follows the Foucauldian dictum: "With the prisons there would be no sense of limiting oneself to discourses about prisons; just as important are the discourses which arise within the prison, the decisions and regulations which are among its constituent elements, its means of functioning, along with its strategies". Johnson provides sixty tables, two charts, and nineteen black-and-white illustrations.

Book Description
Click ′Additional Materials′ for downloadable samples The two-volume Encyclopedia of Prisons and Correctional Facilities aims to provide a critical overview of penal institutions within a historical and contemporary framework. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, a fact that has caused lawmakers, advocates, and legal professionals to rethink punishment policies as well as develop new policies on prisoner education and rehabilitation. Issues of race, gender, and class are fully integrated throughout in order to demonstrate the complexity of the implementation and intended results of incarceration. The Encyclopedia contains biographies, articles describing important legal statutes, and detailed and authoritative descriptions of the major prisons in the United States. Comparative data and examples are employed to analyze the American system within an international context. The Encyclopedia′s 400 entries are all written by recognized authorities. The appendix contains a comprehensive listing of every federal prison in the U.S., complete with facility details and service information.
