About this book
Reviews
“One of the most impressive of the moral development interventions that I have encountered . . . A moral education miracle. I believe that this book represents the best approach to corrections available. The authors genuinely care for and respect adult offenders. . . . They appeal to the staff’s intelligence and good will without indulging in the jargon that one finds in many “therapeutic” books and manuals.'' — F. Clark Power, Professor, University of Notre Dame
