A great book for criminology students looking for a quick historical synopsis on corrections. The book is not required reading for my Masters level class, but, as my background was not in corrections, I felt that additional readings would be of assistance.
A great book for criminology students looking for a quick historical synopsis on corrections. Very informative and to the point. Will serve as a great reference for CJ students looking to cite nearly anything about Correctional Justice.

American Penology: A History of Control by Thomas G. Hardcover 9780202306377). The mechanisms of control have been applied to an ever-increasing proportion of the base population. And the culture of control portrayed in these pages is hardly limited to penal control. It pervades the general culture, and increasingly impacts upon the daily lives of American citizens. Thus the policy context of Blomberg and Lucken's book goes well beyond the ambit of criminology, and touches on the declining levels of democracy, freedom, and privacy within the larger culture they explore.
The purpose of American Penology is to provide a story of punishment's past, present, and likely future. The story begins in the 1600s, in the setting of colonial America, and ends in the present As the story evolves through various historical and contemporary settings, America's efforts to understand and control crime unfold. The context, ideas, practices, and consequences of various punishment reforms are described and examined. Though the book's broader scope and purpose can be distinguished from prior efforts, it necessarily incorporates many contributions from this rich literature. These many contributions are explicitly discussed in the book, and their relationship to the story of American penology is self-evident (e.g., the rise of prisons, reformatories, probation, parole, and juvenile courts, the origins and functions of prison subcultures, the needs of special inmate populations, the effectiveness of community-based alternatives to incarceration). It is important to acknowledge that while this book incorporates selected descriptions of historical contingencies in relation to particular eras and punishment ideas and practices, it does not provide individual "histories" of these eras. Rather than doing history, this book uses history to frame and help explain particular punishment ideas and practices in relation to the period and context from which they evolved. The authors focus upon selected demographic, economic, political, religious, and intellectual con-tingencies that are associated with particular historical and contemporary eras to suggest how these contingencies shaped America's punishment ideas and practices. The purpose is to inform the reader about American penology's story as it evolved over several centuries. The focus is purposely narrowed to major punishment reform eras and selected historical influences. In offering a new understanding of received notions of crime control, Blomberg and Lucken not only provide insights into its future, but also show how the larger culture of control extends beyond the field of criminology to have an impact on declining levels of democracy, freedom, and privacy.
