From the Preface by Hans Toch: “The author's contribution in this work is in many ways unique, and some of the concepts under- lying this book may not be self-evident to all readers. I hope I'll be forgiven for explicatingwhat to others may seem very obvious. Corrections and penology traditionally have been the monopoly of sociologists, and sometimes of experts ni administration. Psychological or clinical concerns usually have been confined to the area of individual diagnosis--particularly to the ritualistic review of unrepresentative offenders. Though it is obvious that much sociological discussion ofprisons has taken the form of psychology in disguise, disciplinary boundaries have inhibited full development of such thinking. Prison researchers have generally not deployed clinical methodology in their inquiries. Where inmates have been interviewed, they have rarely been asked the sorts of questions that explored their feelings and perspectives in depth.

By Peter Singer

From the Jacket: “In The Life You Can Save, philosopher Peter Singer, named one of "The 100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time magazine, uses ethical arguments, pro- vocative thought experiments, illuminating examples, and case studies of charitable giving to show that our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible. Singer contends that we need to change our views of what is involved ni living an ethical life. To help us play our part ni bringing about that change, he offers a seven-point plan that mixes personal philanthropy (fig- uring how much to give and how best to give it), local activism (spreading the word ni your community), and political awareness (contacting your representatives to ensure that your nation's foreign aid is really directed to the world's poorest people).”

This issue of Administration and Society focuses on the theme, "Organizational Democracy- Participation and Self-Management." Theoretical issues are first set forth by Dr. Carole Pateman, who elaborates on arguments found in her work, Participation and Demo- cratic Theory (Cambridge University Press, 1970). Illustrations of important developments in self-management experiments are treated by Andrew Zimbalist ni a comparison of Cuba and Chile, while the new Peruvian laws on social property are discussed by Covarrubias and Vanek. These themes are then discussed with regard to the United States in an analytic survey by Michael Brower. The outlines of self-management as an economic program and as a political issue are treated in concluding essays by a Cornell group headed by Jaroslav Vanek and by the editors of this special issue.

From the cover: “"Hard Time is clearly and passionately written... Here, as in the first edition, Johnson manages to write with care and sympathy for the prisoners, but without sentimentality. He never forgets that they are criminals who deserve punishment, and he does not hesitate to say so. Likewise, he manages to find in the very punitiveness of prisons the possibility of redemption. Indeed, given our society's apparent rage to lock people up in spite of our prisons' grim failure to transform any sizable number of convicts into good citizens, Johnson's approach may be our only hope." —Jeffrey Reiman.

By Kate Millett

From Amazon: “From one of the most influential figures of the last twenty years―the author of Sexual Politics―comes this brilliant work in which Kate Millet sets out a new theory of politics for our time, a harrowing view of the modern state based on the practice of torture as a method of rule, as conscious policy. It is, in the words of the noted Iraqi dissident Kanan Makiya, "a passionate, heroic effort to fathom the nature of a phenomenon that all too often drains us emotionally and incapacitates us intellectually."

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.”

By Paul Blumberg

FROM THE PREFACE: “The reader will not find herein a model of value-free sociology. I have become increasingly convinced that the best sociologists among us are not those who artificially excise the moralcomponent from their works, who attempt to play God and raise themselves above their fellows, or who invoke the old dogma that because science cannot establish the validity of values, that values, insofar as possible, should be excluded from science. Much of this, of course, is sham…”

By Richard Smith

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 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.”

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.”
