Here's an indepth report (24 pages) from 2007 from CQ Researcher on prison reform. It focuses on three major issues:
* nonviolent drug offenders
* need for rehabilitation programs
* prison rape and sexual abuse
Includes additional sources for more information, a bibliography, and an "additional reading" list.
To purchase a downloadable/electronic copy for $4.95 (and worth every penny), go to http://www.cqpress.com/product/Researcher-Prison-Reform-v17-13.html.
Or check with your local public or university library.reference desk and ask for "Prison Reform" by Peter Katel, published by CQ Researcher on April 6, 2007 (volume 17, number 13)
