“An excellent introductory text for students from various milieus and disciplines desirous of learning about ‘corrections’ in a postcolonial and Caribbean context.” (Sheria Myrie, Professor in the School of Social and Community Services, Humber Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning, Canada)
“Leslie’s book on imprisonment, recidivism and reintegration is thought provoking and insightful. It is an excellent addition to the Caribbean literature on criminal Justice. Criminal recidivism is of great cost to any economy. The book provides some suggestions based on the Jamaica context and experience with countries deporting Jamaicans on how to mitigate the crippling effect resulting in direct social and fiscal benefits with knock-on benefits for the economy.” (Warren Benfield, Assistant Professor of Economics, Department of Social Sciences, Human Services and Criminal Justice, Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, USA).
