Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book explores California's prison system in the context of
vocational education reform. For prisons in the early twenty-first
century, ideologies of evidence-based management meant that reform
efforts to change the purpose of prisons from punishment to
rehabilitation through vocational education required "evidence" to
justify policy prescriptions. Yet who determines what constitutes
evidence? In political environments, solutions are typically
pre-conceived, which means that the nature of the evidence
collected is also preconceived. As a result, key assumptions about
outcomes are often wished away to show improvement and be
accountable. Through a detailed analysis interspersed with stories
from the authors' experiences "behind the wall" among California's
prison population, the authors challenge the nature of
evidence-based research as used in the prison environment. In the
process they describe the thorny problems facing reformers.
