Behind the Walls is a detailed description of the world's largest
prison system by a long-time convict trained as an observer and
reporter. It spotlights the day-to-day workings of the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice -- what's good, what's bad, which
programs work and which ones do not, and examines if practice
really follows official policy.
Written to inform about the processes, services, activities,
issues, and problems of being incarcerated, this book is invaluable
to anyone who has a relative or friend incarcerated in Texas, or
for those who want to understand how prisoners live, eat, work,
play, and die in a contemporary U.S. prison.
Containing a short history of Texas prisons and advice on how to
help inmates get out and stay out of prison, this book is the only
one of its kind -- written by a convict still incarcerated and
dedicated to dispelling the ignorance and fear that shroud Texas
prisons. Renaud discusses living quarters, food, and clothing,
along with how prisoners handle money, mail, visits, and phone
calls. He explores the issues of drugs, racism, gangs, and violence
as well as what an inmate can learn about his parole, custody
levels, and how to handle emergencies. What opportunities are
available for education? What is the official policy for
discipline? What is a lockdown? These questions and many others are
answered in this one-of-a-kind guide.
