Description
"'Prisoners among us' evaluates the decisions and methods of parole - the process by which some 60,000 convicts each year are released from prison and supervised in the free community. Influenced by and meshed with sentencing and imprisonment, parole is the problem-laden last stage in the troubled criminal justice systems of the United States...the author's research included field studies in California, Colorado, Georgia, Wisconsin, the District of Columbia, and the federal government; analysis of other current research; and a broad review of literature on sentencing, prisons and parole."--Jacket.
