- Playing hardball with criminals.
An increasing number of offenders are entering the US prison system leading to prison population booms in many state corrections systems. The notable rise in prisoners would thus entail increased corrections spending. Based on statistics for the 1990s, there had been a significant growth in state corrections budgets. Observers believe that the level of state appropriations for corrections will likely increase in the future.

- Unlocking Men, Unmasking Masculinities: Doing Men's Work in Prison
While several studies have examined the relationship between hegemonic masculinity and criminality, prior research has not explored correctional interventions that respond to the pernicious effects of hypermasculinity in prison. This article reports the findings of an exploratory, qualitative study of two related men's programs at prisons in Massachusetts and California. The study included participant observation and interviews with program volunteers. The article describes how the programs seek to deconstruct hypermasculinity in the prison setting and help inmates redefine masculinity to produce prosocial outcomes.
