"""In Corrections in Crisis, Professor Hayden Smith delves into the complexities of prison riots, focusing on a U.S. case study while discussing global implications. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of collective violence in U.S. prisons, highlighting the experiences of incarcerated individuals and addressing critical issues of staffing and wellness. Grounded in theory and empirical evidence, it is a crucial read for those in the corrections field."" Dr. Geoffrey Alpert, University of South Carolina ""Corrections in Crisis is not simply a book on a single prison riot in a single state, it is a compelling and comprehensive history of collective violence in U.S. prisons. Professor Hayden Smith effortlessly combines a theoretically rich, empirically grounded assessment of the roots of collective violence with a case study of a prison riot brought to life through foregrounding the voices of incarcerated individuals and their lived experience."" Dr. Natasha A. Frost, Northeastern University ""Professor Hayden Smith writes an eloquent, accessible book that speaks to the realities of the prison riot - a case study - grounded empirically in data yet in a manner that advances theoretical knowledge. A definite page-turner, yet still informs on the crisis of staffing and wellness in prisons. Although a U.S. case study, the book has international relevance and resonates with prison living and working experiences internationally. Dr. Rosemary Ricciardelli, Memorial University, Canada"
