FROM THE FOREWORD: “…From this analysis, several important findings are evident, including: the existence of competing paradigms in research on women offenders; the possibility that women suffer more in prison than men, despite the appearance of "softer" treatment; the inappropriateness of using programs designed for men in women's facilities; the likelthood that recent higher rates of female incarceration are due more to sentencing practices than increased levels of crime; the development of a unique subculture among women Inmates, and finally, the importance of children in the majority of women inmate's lives. Through her comprehensive review, PollockByrne has done an admirable job of clarifying these findings, and providing sensible altematives to a very complex set of circumstances. This work will provide valuable guidance to both students and practitioners in the development of future policles with respect to women's prisons and the treatment of women prisoners.”

FROM THE PREFACE:” This study began with our interest in gathering data on women in prison to see whether there were female prisoner types consistent with the reported characteristics of male prisoners. Early in the course of this study it became apparent that the most salient distinction to be made among the female inmates was between those who were and those who were not engaged in homosexual behavior in prison, and further, of those who were so involved, between the incumbents of "masculine" and "feminine" roles. Compared to the sociological literature on men's prisons, little is known about the social organization of the women's prison, and with the exception of the Gluecks' Five Hundred Delinquent Women, (1934), virtually no systematically collected empirical data on female prisoners have been published.”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “From the outset, it was intended to provide maximum security in that patients were to be prevented from escaping. Some of the precautions that were part of "maximum security" in the early days were learned from other institutions, and were incorporated into the architecture and the hospital routine from the beginning. In the early years there were some escapes and some suicides, which led to such increases in security as safety screens for windows, posting staff around the yard, guardhouses, lear gas guns, and reduction of the size of the outside work gang.
As in most maximum security psychiatric facilities, the patients in Oak Ridge today are a diverse group. Some of them have only been sent on a warrant of remand for 30 or 60 days for an assessment prior to retuming to court…”

attacks, assassinations-have been widespread, and today I out of every 10,000 deaths in the United States is the result of murder. Yet, despite the presence of violence everywhere, who really understands it or knows what to do about it? Why are people aggressive? What leads them to murder? Why do parents abuse their children? Is violent behavior instinctive or learned? How should violent individuals be Irealcel? Can violence be predicted, controlled, or-belter yet-prevented? This new book investigates these and other pertinent questions.”

FROM THE PREFACE: “To those who took part in it, the Ward H project was an adventure—an adventure whose story the authors hope to tell in this book. As the project clicited involvement and commitment from every participant, it had a marked personal impact; and as each member of the research team benefited from and built upon his need for the others, the experiment became an immensely gratifying group enterprise. But it is diftcult to convey this side of the story. Only the skilled dramatist could compellingly and accurately tell of the truly human experience of personal growth, pain, triumph, and challenge. The authors, however, are not dramatists; to help overcome the frustrations encountered in describing the Ward H adventure, we offer this introduction as a program ro the play. Through it we wish to sensitize the reader to the story’s most significant aspects. The setting can be found in almost any large organization, where man frequently experiences himself as a cog in a huge impersonal machine over which he has little control and in which he finds little opportunity to realize either his uniqueness or his commonness.”

FROM THE COVER: The therapeutic community at the Dannemora State Hospital "Little Siberia" in Clinton, N.Y. lasted from October 1966 to June 1972 - ironically spanning the very years of the Attica tragedy and sponsored by the same New York State Department of Corrections in association with the Clinic of Forensic Psychiatry of Montreal's McGill University. This book was written by the psychiatrist in charge, using records of the participants: articles, minutes, tapes of discussions (one fascinating chapter was written by three women therapists who describe working with men imprisoned for murder and rape). The first 50 prisoners - in all 400 would participate - were all persistent offenders ranging in age from 25 to 35. All had a history of violent crime outside and inside prison…”

FROM THE FOREWORD: “Volume 2 focuses on Protest, Rebellion, Reform, the issues that generate group violence. Four of the contributors to the first edition, including its editors, reassess their views about the historical precedents and international parallels of American violence. There are few surprises here, but a wealth of new evidence and theories that deepen our sense of understand. ing about the sources of recurring conflict and the tenuous nature of consensus in American society. Other chapters deal with new issues: the belated emergence and decline of activism by Native Americans, the steady decline of political terrorist since the early 1970s, and the recurring threat of violence from right-wing extremists like the Ku Klux Klan, the Order, and the Aryan Nations.
