      abstract = {This volume examines how volunteers and non-profit  programs encourage institutional change in prisons and  offer individual support and services to people who are  housed behind bars. Through a diverse set of chapters,  including two that are co-written by current prisoners, the  volume spans the United States, the United Kingdom, and  Canada, and juvenile and adult facilities. The book  showcases the exciting, groundbreaking, and yet often  unrecognized work that the voluntary sector provides in  correctional settings. Collectively, the chapters highlight  beneficial practices while raising critical questions about  the role of the voluntary sector in prison and reentry  settings. The chapters also offer useful information about  how to implement innovative prison programs that promote  health, education, and peer support. .},
