Despite the fact that 160,000 people are locked up in our federal
correctional facilities, practical information about the federal
prison system remains difficult to locate. While some information
may be found scattered on the Internet, in directions given at
court, or through shared personal experience, there is no single
source available that is a collection of all available information.
The U.S. Federal Prison System is the first comprehensive book to
include official prison policies, first-person accounts from
prisoners, and information about each federal facility. Now
published in paperback, The U.S. Federal Prison System is perfect
for classroom use as it interweaves the academic study of
incarceration with a survey of government reports on prison policy.
Organized into two parts, this book is an accessible text on the
current U.S. federal prison system. Part I is an introduction to
federal prison facilities, including key statistics and "views from
the inside" provided by inmates of federal prisons. Part II is a
look at the Federal Bureau of Prisons policies on various matters
such as discipline, education, visits, and religious practices. Key
Features A thorough overview of both prison policies and the
federal facilities themselves with photos of selected prisons Part
II consistently organizes historical background information
followed by an account of current policies-with specific federal
rules and regulations governing the policies to conclude each
topical discussion Appendix A is the first comprehensive listing of
every Federal prison in the U.S., complete with facility details
and service information Commentary from prisoners-first-person
accounts take the reader behind the walls The U.S. Federal Prison
System is an ideal text for students studying corrections and
penology in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Law, Social Work,
Psychology, and Sociology. This book is also an excellent resource
for families of inmates, researchers, and the general public.
