A HISTORY OF THE INDIANA STATE PRISON (1911-2024) Hardcover
 Hinkle, William G.
2024 1-4955-1246-0 752 pages
This book is not a personal account of my experiences at the prison. Instead, as with the first book, it is a historical narrative and a source of detailed information for penologists, researchers, students, and teachers. The book has seven sections covering the changing policies and institutional buildings from 1911 to 2024. Organized around the six most essential considerations faced by prison managers, i.e., the physical plant, administration, offender classification, offender treatment, prison labor, and discipline, each chapter begins with a significant development at the prison.

Self-deception, and assorted other forms of irrationality, are human phenomena and so human problems. They arise in the course of the development of human consciousness. They do not precede or stand outside the development of human consciousness but are rather aspects of this development.
