      abstract = {Corruption is a problem in prisons about which we hear  very little, except when there is an escape from custody or  other scandal that makes the media. The closed nature of  correctional institutions has made the activities that go  on within them less visible to the outside world. While  some persons might be inclined to dismiss correctional  corruption as an issue, this view ignores the scale of  criminality and misconduct that can go on in prison and the  impact it can have upon not just the good order of the  prison or the rights of prisoners but on the prospects for  successful reintegration of ex-prisoners into society. This  book is the first to examine the phenomenon in any detail  or to suggest what might be done to reduce its incidence  and the harms that can arise from it. Andrew Goldsmith,  Mark Halsey and Andrew Groves argue that it is not enough  to tackle corruption alone. Rather there should be a  broader attempt to promote what the authors call  'correctional integrity'.
