\ BooknewsDrawing partly on his work as a member of the team investigating the 1980 riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico, Colvin (sociology, George Mason U.) cites that event and the institutional changes that preceded it, as a case study of how shifts in the organizational structure and the philosophy of prison management are impacting American prisons.
