Förlagets beskrivning
Behind the Walls is a detailed description of the world's largest prison
system by a long-time convict trained as an observer and reporter. It
spotlights the day-to-day workings of the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice_what's good, what's bad, which programs work and which ones do not, and
examines if practice really follows official policy. Written to inform about
the processes, services, activities, issues, and problems of being
incarcerated, this book is invaluable to anyone who has a relative or friend
incarcerated in Texas, or for those who want to understand how prisoners live,
eat, work, play, and die in a contemporary U.S. prison. Containing a short
history of Texas prisons and advice on how to help inmates get out and stay out
of prison, this book is the only one of its kind_written by a convict still
incarcerated and dedicated to dispelling the ignorance and fear that shroud
Texas prisons. Renaud discusses living quarters, food, and clothing, along with
how prisoners handle money, mail, visits, and phone calls. He explores the issues of drugs, racism, gangs, and violence as well as
what an inmate can learn about his parole, custody levels, and how to handle
emergencies. What opportunities are available for education? What is the
official policy for discipline? What is a lockdown? These questions and many
others are answered in this one-of-a-kind guide. Written to inform about the processes, services, activities, issues and
problems of being incarcerated, this is a valuable guide to anyone who has a
relative or friend incarcerated in Texas, or for those who want to understand
how prisoners live, eat, work, play and die in a contemporary US prison.
