Unit Management in Prisons and Jails

By Robert B. Levinson

From the Foreword: “In Unit Management in Prisons and Jails, Robert Levinson describes unit management's humble beginnings at the National Training School ni Washington, D.C., and recounts its rise to becoming a system that revolutionized prison management. Dr. Levinson introduces readers to the concept of unit management and carefully walks them through each step involved with implementing this method. The appendices include a sample manual and unit plan to assist individuals with the details of unit management. Aside from prisons, jails also have adopted this idea (unit management is called "direct supervision" in a jail setting). This book includes a chapteron these types of jails by Kenneth Kerle.”
