Eleuthera |
Corrections systems across the United States are returning more and more predators and not producers to the communities. Recognizing the need for change in the American corrections system, Dr. Garth-James proposes that corrections managers need to focus their attention on helping prisoners gain literacy and marketable job skills that will aid them in finding Eleuthera, or true freedom, upon their return to society. Joint Venture programs, collaborations between prisons and private businesses, will create the change that our prisons and jails desperately need. Dr. Garth-James draws from years of experience in California as lobbyist, a policy analyst for the Joint Legislative Prisons Committee, and an Independent Observer with the Bureau of Justice Assistance Prison Industries Enhancement Compliance Program, where she has seen some of these programs at work and the positive effects they have had on the participants. If you are interested in the current state of affairs in the corrections system and desire to see a change or even if you are interested in having ex-offenders make a successful return to society, then you will benefit from the thought-provoking ideas put forth in this book.
