Abstract
This paper suggests that scholars and practitioners in correction should turn their attention to the prison system as a crucial unit of analysis. Almost every state has a centralized correctional depart ment with jurisdiction over a variety of institutions ranging from traditional custodial maximum-security warehouses to community- based innovative halfway houses and treatment centers. How pris oners and resources should be distributed among these institutions is the key problem.
