About the Book

Corrections in Crisis: Learning from the 2018 Lee Prison Riot examines the events surrounding the riot at Lee Correctional Institution in Bishopville, South Carolina, on April 15, 2018, the largest prison riot in 25 years. Utilizing a blend of theory, methodology, and evaluation, the book dissects this incident-a microcosm of broader systemic issues within the United States' criminal justice system-and considers historical, political, and social influences. The narrative guides readers through the complexities of the riot, touching on topics including prison culture, gang violence, mental illness, and the well-being of correctional staff.


The book is structured into three parts across 12 chapters, progressing from the history and background conditions leading up to the riot, through an exploration of its underlying causes, to a consideration of policy solutions. This approach synthesizes theories of punishment, correctional theory, and the reality of prison gangs with a focus on measurable outcomes and evidence-based practices. It includes statistical visuals and case studies to provide context and facilitate understanding of the core concepts and their application. Notably, the book also highlights the lived experiences of inmates who witnessed or were involved in the riot, providing readers with a novel and rare perspective from a key population.


Corrections in Crisis is appropriate for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in corrections, as well as for supplemental reading in criminal justice
