The felonious activities of confined inmates reach out into society every day. These inmates run lucrative drug operations, commit fraud, hire contract murders, and commit a multitude of criminal offenses from inside the walls of our prisons. Practical Criminal Investigations in Correctional Facilities gives sound advice to both the long-time administrator and the beginning criminal justice professional on how to handle crime in a community in which 100% of the population are convicted felons. With case studies, charts, photographs, and narrative, it covers investigations by type of crime committed, such as drugs, escapes, sexual assault, theft, and homicide.
