Daily Prison Life - Crime and Detection

Více o knize

The U.S. prison system stands as the largest and most innovative globally, featuring some of the most advanced facilities that uphold the highest security standards. Within these specialized environments, thousands of inmates are monitored by highly trained corrections officers who utilize technology to foresee and mitigate violence, riots, and escape attempts. The prison system is supported by a diverse team of professionals, including counselors, drug rehabilitation staff, medical personnel, and kitchen workers, all dedicated to managing some of the most hardened criminals. Beyond mere incarceration, these facilities function as crime-prevention centers, equipping offenders with new trades and essential life skills. This series includes a foreword from the Chairman of the National Law Enforcement Association, complemented by color photos, charts, and back matter such as an index, chronology, and further reading lists. Key Icons throughout the books encourage readers to expand their knowledge and perspectives. "Words to Understand" are defined at the beginning of each chapter, enhancing vocabulary and comprehension. Sidebars provide additional information for a holistic view, while text-dependent questions at chapter ends challenge comprehension and encourage careful reading. Research projects prompt deeper analysis, and a glossary of key terms is included to broaden understanding of the terminology used in this field.
