Effective treatment and preparation for successful reintegration
can be better achieved if the needs and risks of incarcerated
offenders are taken into consideration by correctional
practitioners and scholars. Special Needs Offenders in Correctional
Institutions offers a unique opportunity to examine the different
populations behind bars (e.g. chronically and mentally ill,
homosexual, illegal immigrants, veterans, radicalized inmates,
etc.), as well as their needs and the corresponding impediments for
rehabilitation and reintegration. Author Lior Gideon takes a
rehabilitative and reiterative approach to discuss and
differentiate between the needs of these various categories of
inmates, and provides in depth discussions-not available in other
correctional texts-about the specific needs, risks and policy
recommendations when working with present-day special needs
offenders. Each chapter is followed by suggested readings and
relevant websites that will enable readers to further enhance
understanding of the issues and potential solutions discussed in
the chapter. Further, each chapter has discussion questions
specifically designed to promote class discussions. The text
concludes with a theoretical framework for future policy
implications and practices.
