The Management of Correctional Institutions
Section 1 (pages 1 to 68) presents an overview of the literature on prison management, and the results of a national survey of wardens which enquired into actual management styles, problem-solving techniques, and decision-making approaches. The national survey aimed to determine how much the literature reflected the wardens' management practices. Findings showed that corrections management largely reflects the literature in that it has inconsistencies, an emphasis on personnel experience, and an inward focus. These results were used to develop a perspective focusing on a humane and caring relationship between manager and staff. Section 2 (pages 72 to 301) contains abstracts of the 100 'most important works, both essay and research, on correctional institution management'.
