Federal Prisons Journal, Volume 1, Number 1, Summer 1989. Suicide Prevention in the Federal Prison System.

摘要

This is the first issue of the Federal Prisons Journal. It will be a valuable vehicle for personal and professional growth. The role of corrections in our criminal justice system is becoming increasingly important. As the corrections system grows, those who make it work must communicate with each other, with opinionmakers, and with the public. The voices of professional correctional workers must also be heard in the national debate over issues of crime and justice. The Federal Prisons Journal provides a forum for these Discussions. The Federal Prisons Journal will also be an opportunity to present to the nation a view of the problems facing the correctional system today. It is important to get the message out about the resourcefulness and professionalism of correctional workers in providing a vital public service -- safe, secure, and humane institutions -- often under difficult circumstances.
