Correction contrasts the training that correctional officers receive with their real-life experiences inside prison. The experiences of four people negotiating the seven-week training academy at the Arizona Department of Corrections reveal that both officers and inmates are trapped within the correctional system, controlled by contradictory imperatives between security, justice, punishment, and the economic realities of state government.
