Some two million Americans are in jail or in prison. Except for the
occasional expose, what happens to them is hidden from the rest of
us. Is it possible to develop and instill a professional ethic for
prison personnel that, in partnership with formal regulatory
constraints, will mediate relations among officers, staff, and
inmates, or are the failures of imprisonment as an
ethically-constrained institution so deeply etched into its
structure that no professional ethic is possible? The contributors
to this volume struggle with this central question and its broader
and narrower ramifications. Some argue that despite the problems
facing the practice of incarceration as punishment, a professional
ethic for prison officers and staff can be constructed and
implemented. Others, however, despair of imprisonment and even
punishment, and reach instead for alternative ways of healing the
personal and communal breaches constituted by crime. The result is
a provocative contribution to practical and professional ethics.
