Courts, Corrections, and the Constitution cover

The federal courts are now heavily involved in the reform of prisons in the US. This collection of analyses by noted criminologists provides a much needed look at the consequences of such judicial intervention. In his introduction and conclusion, John DiIulio discusses the general points to be drawn, proposes an agenda for further research, and offers policy recommendations.

'a useful contribution to the growing literature on new generation prisons' Mick Ryan, Thames Polytechnic, British Journal of Criminology, Summer '92
`This book will be of interest to all those concerned with the American judicial and prison systems and to the ordinary British reader who still enjoys being surprised by the lunacies and horrors perpetrated in the name for the law.' LCCJ Newsletter
