Critics Review
“Rosemary Ricciardelli has written a must-read book for anyone interested in institutional corrections, including policymakers, scholars, correctional administrators, and correctional staff. As an occupation, corrections requires working with individuals who have been accused or convicted of a criminal offense and who are being held against their will. Working in a prison or jail can be a trying experience, but it is also a noble and important profession. Researching correctional staff is critical because of the cost of corrections and the impact that staff have on the correctional environment. This book adds immensely to the literature.”
–Eric Lambert, Department of Criminal Justice, University of Nevada, Reno“Rosemary Ricciardelli has painted an important picture of the contemporary correctional officer and the challenges that they face. Her interview findings provide her readers a rare glimpse into provincial facilities, where most prisoners in Canada are housed but where little research has been done. Trying to understand prisons by just studying prisoners is a serious flaw in work by most academics; more research is needed concerning correctional officers. Ricciardelli helps fill a significant deficiency in the literature by writing this most important book.”
