Sommario/riassunto

Across the country prisons are jammed to capacity, and in extreme cases, barges and mobile homes are used to stem the overflow. Probation officers in some cities have caseloads of 200 and more. In Between Prison and Probation, Norval Morris and Michael Tonry offer a strategy for alleviating these problems.
