THE PRISONER'S FAMILY: A Study of Family Counseling in an Adult Correctional System

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

By NORMAN FENTON

“A man goes to prison. His relationships with wife, children, or parenis are suddenly interrupted. Penological studies have properly been focused upon the prisoner, yet these persons whom he leaves "on the outside" may significantly affect his adjustment to prison life, and eventually, his behavior for good or ill when he is released. This project, conducted in the California state prison system is the first broad endeavor to bring guidance and counseling techniques into play between prisoners and their families.”

The Interdisciplinary Team In Adult Corrections

By John P. Conrad et al

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: ” A Good pair of simultaneous equations for the student of comparative corrections to keep in mind is:
Interdisciplinary is Good Custodial is Bad.
I mention this algebra now because I intend to subiect the interdisci- plinary concept to an abrasive treatment which may open questions about my loyalties. I believe in these equations. Purely custodial insti- tutions constitute nearly all non-interdisciplinary endeavor in corrections. Custodial correctional practice is making no strides to anywhere.

The Time Game: Two Views Of A Prison

By Anthony J. Manocchio and Jimmy Dunn

From the Preface by Lamar Empey: T”he design and conduct of many, perhaps most, sociological studies depend upon some knowledge of the subjective views of the actors to be investigated. Without it, the investigation must proceed more by assumption than by evidence, more by conjecture than by an informed point of view. To be able to ask relevant questions and to explore key issues. the sociologist must have some prior grasp of the way those issues look to the persons who are to be studied, what they contend with, and why they believe as they do. There is nothing quite so difficult as attempting to gather data on the nature and subiective side of institu- tional patterns and processes without such information.”
