Abstract
Prison administration in this country has changed dramatically in recent years. Twenty-five years ago, the warden was the overseer of an attempt to achieve reformation of character through isolation, hard work, and repentance. Today's superintendent must manage complex personnel systems, overcrowded institutions, and technological advances in a context of increased public and political scrutiny and close legal oversight. No one twenty-five years ago could have foreseen massive involvement of federal courts in prison oversight, rapid recent proliferation of private prisons, or politicization of criminal justice policy. The most important challenges for the next quarter century are probably as unforeseeable as were the most important in the past quarter century.
