Issues in Corrections: Research, Policy, and Future Prospects provides a thorough review of a number of issues often ignored or given little coverage by other texts in the discipline. Hilinski-Rosick and Walsh use current research from a number of disciplines to explore both traditional (jails, prisons, and gender issues in corrections) and nontraditional (prison gangs, solitary confinement, and correctional education) topics through a modern, insightful lens not often found in texts of this nature. Issues in Corrections should be required reading for any course in corrections where instructors want their students to study current corrections issues in more detail than these issues are given in the traditional survey in corrections textbooks.
