Serving the stigmatized : working within the incarcerated environment /
Church, Wesley T.,editor.
Springer, David W.,editor.
Serving the Stigmatized is the first book of its kind that explores best practices when dealing with a specific prison population while under some form of institutional control. If the established goal of a correctional facility is to ""rehabilitate,"" then it is imperative that the rehabilitation is effective and does not simply serve as a political buzz word. The timing of releasing this book coincides with a real movement in the United States, supported by both conservative and liberal advocates and foundations, to decrease the size of the prison population by returning more offenders to their communities. --Back cover.
