Commonsense Choices from Uncommon Voices: Rethinking America's
Correctional Policies brings together the experiences of men who
served time in prison with contemporary research on correctional
policy. This work combines a voyeuristic desire to observe "evil"
and the consequences of the system of punishment, with detached
consideration of what those stories can tell us about who we are as
a nation and how we treat those who have betrayed the social trust.
The authors simultaneously examine first-person accounts of inmate
experiences with the correctional system and what actually, works,
in operation, to promote the rehabilitative and restorative models
of justice so many of our policymakers espouse. Each chapter opens
with a vignette, a recollection of an event or series of events,
about an inmate's experience during the various phases of
correctional processing. These first-hand accounts have been
collected from men who served time in prison. These men's stories
are examined in their own right, then extrapolated to a broader
analysis of the underlying social and policy issues to which that
vignette speaks. All chapters follow the same structure: (a)
opening vignette about a former inmate; (b) analysis, which
includes (i) identification of the underlying issue; (ii)
reflection; and (iii) extrapolation to a larger policy issue; and
(c) recommendations from the field for enacting practice and
crafting policy more responsive to the identified issue.
