Byrne, James M.; Taxman, Faye S.
Evaluation and Program Planning, v17 n2 p227-33 Apr-Jun 1994
The trend toward expanding the use of prisons and jails for drug and alcohol offenders, sex offenders, and mentally ill offenders is examined, as is the corresponding conversion of community corrections programs to a surveillance and control orientation. The differential impact of this trend on women, minorities, and the poor is explored. (SLD)
