478 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. 9 (1985)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0478 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD No one has ever suggested that there is any such thing as a good prison. Indeed, the problems of America's prisons-idleness, violence, inmate unemployment-are so grave today that every serious effort to improve conditions merits commendation and support. This volume represents one such effort. The approaches and solutions offered by the authors of these commentaries are significant not only for their specifics but also for their ability to stimulate public interest and move us to a major effort to change our prisons. We need not and must not suffer warehouses indefinitely. Courts are not the primary forum for effective resolution of disputes over prison conditions. The practical value of this volume, then, may lie in its ability to encourage suggestions regarding improvements in the management of, and public policies affecting, our prison systems. Perhaps even more important may be its ability to foster suggestions about how to muster the necessary support of the public. WARREN E. BURGER Chief Justice of the United States 9
