  We've heard a lot in recent years about the nearly 2.1 million people incarcerated in American prisons and jails. But what about the approximately four million more who are on probation and parole—monitored by the state at great expense and at risk of being sent to prison at the whim of a probation or parole officer for the least imaginable infraction?Vincent Schiraldi was New York City probation commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, supervising a system charged with monitoring 30,000 people on a daily basis. In Mass Supervision, he combines firsthand experience with deep research on the inadequately explored practices of probation and parole, to illustrate how these forms of state supervision have strayed from their original goal of providing constructive and rehabilitative alternatives to prison. They have become instead, Schiraldi argues, a "recidivism trap" for people trying to lead productive lives in the wake of a criminal conviction.Schiraldi offers the first full and up-to-date account of these two key aspects of our criminal justice system, showing that these practices increase incarceration, have little impact on crime rates, and needlessly disrupt countless lives. Ultimately, he argues that they should be dramatically downsized or even abolished completely.

  Finding Mrs. Warnecke tells the inspiring story of Cindi  Rigsbee, a three-time Teacher of the Year, and Barbara Warnecke,  the first-grade teacher who had a lifelong impact on Cindi's life.  Cindi, an insecure child who craved positive attention, started her  first-grade year with a teacher who was emotionally abusive and  played favorites in the classroom. One month into the school year,  her principal came into the classroom and announced that half the  students were being moved to another classroom--a dank, windowless  basement room, with a young and inexperienced teacher.  This  change turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to  Cindi.  Her new teacher, Mrs. Warnecke, made learning come  alive for her students.  She went overboard caring for each  child, made her classroom "magical," and encouraged students to  pursue their dreams.  Although Cindi was reluctant to explore  her creativity as a student, Mrs. Warnecke encouraged her to read  and write poetry, which became a lifelong passion.  The two  kept in touch for several years but lost track of each other when  Mrs. Warnecke moved out of state. Cindi spent many years trying to  reconnect so she could thank Mrs. Warnecke for making such a  difference in her life, but to no avail.  Eventually Cindi  became a teacher herself, and thirty years later she has taught  more than 2,000 children and been named as a finalist for National  Teacher of the Year.  She later came to realize that all those  years she wasnt really trying to track down Barbara  Warnecke, but rather, she was trying to "find Mrs. Warnecke" within  herself.    In Fall 2008 Cindi and Barbara were reunited on Good Morning  America; the shows producers had tracked Barbara down  and brought both women on-set for a tearful reunion.  Barbara  was floored at this attention--she had no idea she could have made  such an impact on a former students life.  As Cindi  travels around talking with new and veteran educators, she is  always approached by audience members who are moved to tears and  want to share the story of the "Mrs. Warnecke" in their own  lives.  Finding Mrs. Warnecke not only tells the story  of this teacher who made a lasting impact on her students, it  illustrates the importance of the teacher/student relationship in  the classroom, and offers principles for other teachers to follow  to make a positive impact in their own classrooms.
