This volume examines how volunteers and non-profit programs encourage
institutional change in prisons and offer individual support and
services to people who are housed behind bars. Through a diverse set
of chapters, including two that are co-written by current prisoners,
the volume spans the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada,
and juvenile and adult facilities. The book showcases the exciting,
groundbreaking, and yet often unrecognized work that the voluntary
sector provides in correctional settings. Collectively, the chapters
highlight beneficial practices while raising critical questions about
the role of the voluntary sector in prison and reentry settings. The
chapters also offer useful information about how to implement
innovative prison programs that promote health, education, and peer
support.
