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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot since the works of Clemmer, Sykes, and Glaser have we seen a book that so deftly builds a theory of prison effects and then submits it to a rigorous analysis.  McGuinn’s book provides an understanding of prisons and how to change their management so that they can better achieve their goals.  This is a must read for all students of prisons but also for anyone who wants to understand and change them. -- Charles Wellford, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland, College Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction  Chapter 2: Prison Management  Chapter 3: Analytic Method  Chapter 4: Power Adoptions in Coercive Environments  Chapter 5: Alienation  Chapter 6: Prison Theory Chapter 7: Conclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037550149975,"sku":"9780739194355","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739194355.jpg?v=1750936213","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prison-management-prison-workers-and-prison-theory-9780739194355","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
