This casebook on working with incarcerated individuals and their families provides students with personal and intimate glimpses into the thinking and actions of experienced practitioners working in these settings. 

The contributors to this casebook combined many decades of social work experience and teaching to create an opportunity for students to study and analyze how practitioners think about practice. The authors move beyond the belief that practice involves finding “correct” interventions to solve client problems, and instead invite students to review and challenge the work of others to help them understand what compromises important practice decision with real clients in real practice settings.
