Prison Management, Prison Workers, and Prison Theory develops a new
conception of prison infrastructure, organization, and policy to
explore how workers and administrators are essential in the
development of culture and morality within the prison environment.
Stephen C. McGuinn demonstrates that effective managers prioritize
prison workers in order to meet external social demands of
imprisonment and internal demands of daily operation. McGuinn
argues that prison administrators need to unify prison staff under
a new conception of the institution. The exploration of current
power structures and their opportunities for improvement provides
insight for those interested in criminology, criminal justice,
prison theory and reform, policy studies, and labor studies.

This work asks readers to reconsider punishment contracts in the
United States. It illustrates the importance of state
accountability and responsibility to those who are punished, while
also focusing on the dual importance of desistance and re-entry.
Looking across current criminological desistance literature,
Stephen C. McGuinn shows the value of empowerment, meaning and,
most of all, assimilation. Woven throughout the text, the work also
captures the actual experiences of a man returning to society after
eleven years in prison. He details his experiences in a daily
journal, providing an honest and forthright account of the
confusion and struggle of those who come home after lengthy prison
stays. Through this account, readers are reminded of the importance
of human connection and compassion. As researchers, as scientists,
we must provide a map, or a language and narrative, on how to
consider punishment in the US. In developing a new way to consider
the process of desistance, this book champions the humanity in
forgiveness and the compassion of justice.
