Applying Erving Goffman's frame theory and drawing on interviews with inmates and correctional officers in federal and provincial institutions, Michael Weinrath assesses whether improvements over the past twenty-five years have truly led to \"better corrections.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBehind the Walls\u003c\/em\u003e offers an unprecedented look at life in contemporary prisons. Inmates and staff describe their transition to prison life and corrections work, and they explain how they frame or understand their roles and how they relate to others.
