Summary:
Surveys the rapid growth of transportation in the United States from the times when the world's peoples were kept apart by great natural barriers to the present day when jet aircraft span the continent in a few hours. Reviews the development of the vast network of railroads, highways, and air routes in the United States, and describes the economic and social significance of modern transportation facilities.
In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman sketches the relationship of prison administration to the inmate community and the ways in which the inmates’ group influences the administration. An inmate's views about who really controls the operation of a prison are expressed during an on-location interview. Burke and Lohman explore the prisoner’s role, both legitimate and otherwise, in prison management, and discuss the redirection of this community activity into legitimate channels which a professional staff can provide. Lohman notes the need for constructive outlets for individual and group expression, without which inmate energies are directed into hostile and anti-social channels.
