FROM THE PREFACE: “The military correctional system has had an impact upon the lives of hundreds of thousands of American men in the one hundred years of its existence. The theory, goals, and applications of this system differ from civil corrections and represent an important source of information and experience in the effort to deter and modify criminal behavior. The purpose of this collection of papers is to communicate such information and experiences.

From Chapter 1: “Imprisonment generates some degree of pressure in each and every inmate. Prison pressures may lead inmates to choose one or more strategies of coping with their environment. The array of interactions in prison is a mixture of both pressures and reactions to pressures. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the prisoner's pressures. The second half of the chapter will focus on alternatives to ameliorate these pressures. Later chapters will present the results from studies of particular pressures and/or coping responses within prison.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “Prisons fascinate the societies that create them because--short of the death penalty--they are the ultimate form and symbol of the power of the state over the individual. In the imagery that mesmerizes us, prisoners arc anonymous masses controlled by walls, steel bars, and impersonal guards. Their fearsome punishment, suffered cqually by all, is loss of liberty. This book addresses the limitations of this powerful but simplistic image.”

From the foreword: “We realize the importance of correctional and community pro- grams for children of incarcerated parents. We also recognize the im- portance of parenting programs in correctional settings--prisons, jails, boot camps, and other facilities. Based on our experience, we believe that if more individuals are taught how to be good parents, we can stem the rise o fjuvenile crime.”

High praise from the cover: “Prison life is dirty, deadly, treacherous and invisible to allbut its inhabitants. Abstractions from outsiders, even well-meaning outsiders, never reveal a prison'sshadow side. But Robert Johnson'spoetry is different. Chameleon-like, John- son assumes the spiritand voice of prison survivors to providean authentic and com-pelling expression ofthe daily reality of prison life.” — Victor Hassine, life sentence prisoner, author, Life without Parole: Living in Prison Today. “Drawing upon years ofstudy andresearch about crime,punishment, imprisonment and the deathpenalty, criminologist and social scientist Robert Johnson has produced a powerful, vivida n d beautiful collection of poems. Johnson's poetry is as provocative and subtle as his prose.” Rita J. Simon, University Professor, School of Public Affairs, American University.

“The man on the steel table was mine, my client. I work for the dead. I bring them justice. When someone in prison is murdered, I take the case. I'm a murder cop, detailed from the inner city of Baltimore to the cell blocks of the state penitentiary. That's my beat--the prison, the pen, the house, call it what you like. Just be glad you're not there….”

From the Introduction: In 1774 an Act was passed "for preserving the health of prisoners in gaol," and under that Act local justices were obliged "to appoint an experienced surgeon or apothecary". The surgeon or apothecary was required to be resident and have no practice outside the prison. Thus began the Prison Medical Service, started largely to prevent typhus spreading from the prisons to surrounding communities. Since then the Service has expanded and specialised. It now attempts to provide a comprehensive health service for all prisoners, a rapid medical reporting service to courts, and a good deal of psychiatric help, including a specialised pychiatric prison at Grendon. The Prison Medical Service has, however, been subject to much criticism and, indeed, abuse, especially in recent years.

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.”
