CorrectionsOne asked several of its columnists to look back on the past year and craft an end-of-the-year summary of the state of corrections in 2010. Their trenchant analyses have been posted to the site, and you can find links to their articles below. In reading these articles, you’ll find that, as always, corrections is an ever-complex and fascinating world. In his article, Joe Bouchard examines his main area of expertise — contraband — while also delving into the topics of money and release programs. Lorry Schoenly turns her keen eye to the state of correctional healthcare, which is always a complex and fascinating issue. Bob Walsh looks at the world of California corrections, an increasingly important topic as the state has become a hotbed of correctional policy debate. Dr. Bruce Bayley asks whether corrections today is the problem child many politicians make it out to be, or just a convenient political scapegoat. And finally, Barry Evert offers a fantastic homage to correctional officers everywhere in his piece, 2010: The year of the correctional officer. We hope you enjoy reading these excellent essays, and look forward to your continued membership in 2011.
