Through case studies of two prison systems -- the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Dutch prison system -- the book identifies the challenges and opportunities that confront public managers who want to reorient correctional policy and make prisons more effective. The book describes how focused leadership -- or its absence -- can make a major difference in the character and performance of public organizations. The author concludes that the ability of leaders to shape an organization's mission and motivate public servants in accordance with policy goals lies at the heart of making institutions work.
