There is probably no other area of American society where the gap between what is known by thoughtful experts and what is done in the trenches is broader than in corrections. Academics keep plowing the same ground in their search for “root causes,” correlations of criminal behavior, and theories of crime and criminality. The wardens and administrators keep their focus on less expensive suicide blankets, better stainless steel toilets, and new ways to jam contraband cell phones.
