Wally Lamb

Harper Perennial, 2004

Another must-read for just about anyone
This book, and its partner "I'll Fly Away" by the same author, is at times both tough and uplifting. These are essays that women have worked on in a writing class inside the prison. They are their personal stories, which usually reveal so much about their circumstances and decisions that led them to incarceration. Some of it is rough to read, such as troubled family lives and things ...

Warden James H. Bruton

Voyageur Press, 2004

Good and Accurate Insight to Prison Life
James Bruton was an enlightened Warden; someone who believed in the dignity of prisoners and in giving them self-respect. He argues, in the stories he tells about life in a supermax prison, that 95% of all prisoners get paroled at some point and that society has an interest in seeing that parolees re-enter the streets well-adjusted and not angry. His anecdotes about older lifers, and how they ...

The Art of the Con: Avoiding Offender Manipulation

4 reviews
Gary F. Cornelius

American Correctional Association, 2001

Necessary Reading for the corrections officer
There are very few pertinent, to the point publications regarding the cons and games inmates will try to pull off on corrections officers. The veteran officer learns by trial and error, and over the course of years comes to know when a 'con' is being played on him/her. The rookie CO knows it will happen but not the lengths that an inmate will go to to work the con. As a new CO this book ...

This is a superb textbook for a relative new specialty of correctional medicine.
