Description

There’s No Crying in Prison describes the observations of a correctional psychologist working on the front lines with inmates. The aim is to take the readers inside the real world of prison to help them understand its people and culture. The book describes the physical, social, and cultural world of inmates, how they attempt to influence the prison environment, and strategies staff members use to contain them. Dr. Jaffe avoids both the formal descriptions of the academic press and the more sensationalistic accounts of inmates and journalists. The book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the real world of prison.
