ABSTRACT
‘The crimininal often does not see’—says Donald Clemmer in his excellent book on the prison community (156, p. 6)—‘the beauty of American life, the slow but inevitable progress of our nation and the ideals of kindness, service, and honesty which are common in many persons. He does not understand or consider social trends. He does not compare the standard of life, nation with nation. He does not objectify the perceptions he receives.’
