Coping with Imprisonment (Hardcover)


Parisi has compiled a volume of original essays about coping with stress in prison. They cover such topics as the causes of the stress; who suffers most; how prisoners deal with the stress; and how institutions can alleviate it. The book reviews prisoners' strategies for survival - from withdrawal to aggressive rebellion, organized strikes, and explosive riots - and how grievance procedures, sentencing and parole policies can either contribute to, or reduce, stress. 'This volume is both easy to read and well organized. The papers selected for inclusion were appropriate. The reader who has a novice interest in this topic will find this volume to be a valued addition. Correctional students, policy makers, and educators will find this volume interesting and worthwhile.' - "The Police Chief", February 1984.
