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."--Jacket
