	The Corrections - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Denise, the youngest of the family, is successful in her career as a chef, but unsuccessful in fulfilling her mother's requests of finding a nice young Midwestern man to marry, not least as she begins to question her sexuality.

	The Corrections Program At Jefferson Community College
		As a result correctional employees must have a grounding in human behavior, possess strong interpersonal communications skills, be able to solve problems and think critically.
		The interdisciplinary nature of the corrections curriculum is designed to provide students with these abilities by combining courses in the social and behavioral sciences with core classes that examine the organization, operation, and philosophy of each component of the corrections system.
		The corrections major will prepare students for employment in local, state or federal correctional facilities, juvenile detention centers, probation and parole, or for transfer to a four-year degree granting institution.

	The Corrections Crisis
		The cause for this increased demand on corrections is that public policy is increasing its reliance on a criminal justice response to a wide ranges of behavior that’s considered criminal.
		Today, corrections are the state’s largest provider of residential mental health and community-based substance abuse treatment and remedial education.
		An amendment I offered this year, which was adopted by the House, asks the corrections commissioner to inform the legislature by next January 15 his progress towards planning and construction of sufficient corrections bedspace and community program capacity to meet his projected need.

	ESR \| December 3, 2001 \| A love of characters - A review of The Corrections
		Decidedly unfriendly to traditional family values, The Corrections is nonetheless a compelling if uncomfortable look at the politics that many families keep behind the closed doors of their perfect homes.
		Her psychological battle to bring her children home to celebrate a traditional family holiday is one of the "corrections" that Franzen utilizes to heal the family until the very ending when it becomes Alfred's death that gives release to her.
		In recent interviews Franzen has identified that he believes Enid to be the hero (or at least the most sympathetic character) of the story, but he leaves her transformation to essentially the last pages of the novel.

	Bureau of Justice Statistics Corrections Statistics
		Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities is conducted approximately every 5 years, providing detailed information on the types of inmates housed, facility age and type, security level, court orders, programs, health and safety conditions, confinement space, employment, and operating costs.
		These death records include information on the deceased's personal characteristics (age, gender and race/ethnicity), their criminal background (legal status, offense types, length of stay in custody), as well as details of the death itself (the date, time, location and cause of each death, as well as information on autopsies and medical treatment provided for illnesses/diseases).
		Survey of Inmates in Federal Correctional Facilities (SIFCF) was first conducted in 1991 by a joint effort between BJS and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

	The Corrections
		The most obvious place to look is the drug aspect, the need to correct a person's psyche or self (such as with the comfortable phrase "correctional facility" instead of the tougher "jail").
		But there is also the stock market's use of the word "correction," which happens when the market gets too big, as it did in the '90's (the time in which this book takes place), and then plummets back down to, perhaps, more realistic levels.
		And since this is a story about a family, there is the accompanying generation gap, and the corrections that children attempt to make to offset the perceived deficit in their parents.

	Harry R. Dammer - Religion in Correction
		Correctional chaplains were among the earliest paid non-custodial staff and were the first to provide education and counseling for inmates.
		The influence and practice of religion in the correctional setting is as old as the history of prisons.
		But at this juncture religious practice appears to only change some inmates in some cases, and appear to become involved with religion while incarcerated for a variety of reasons, and to determine the sincerity of religious practice and its long term impact is a daunting task.

	The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen
		The Corrections isn’t an especially bad novel, but it failed to hold me. The characters are rather cloudy; he keeps telling you what they are like, but none of them leaps off the page or stays in the mind.
		The Corrections is a good, old-fashioned novel, the writing and presentation seemingly effortless (with only a few sententious and too-clever slips where Franzen tries to do more than he can carry off), the characters and stories engaging.
		Curiously, practically no one thinks Oprah has done anything wrong, though of course she has: the only thing that counts is the book, and the quality and the significance of book has nothing to do with its author, no matter how rude and obnoxious and arrogant he might be.

	Bookreporter.com - THE CORRECTIONS by Jonathan Franzen
		An epic tragicomedy, THE CORRECTIONS follows the alternately divergent and convergent paths of two generations of the Lambert family from mid-century through the technology-saturated economic boom and crash of the late 90's.
		It is with unremitting scrutiny that Franzen lays so patently bare the pretensions, greed, self-deceptions, insecurities and folly of the Lamberts --- and, by extension, the greater culture --- as they swallow whole the quick-fix comforts and profitability of today's technology laden, commerce-glutted global society and conveniently sidestep all accountability for self or neighbor.
		Rather, THE CORRECTIONS is remarkable for its seamless fusion of domestic and global dysfunctions into a deceptively simple yet utterly compelling story of one family's collective but colliding struggle toward finding meaning in their lives.

		As he follows various Lamberts from a quiet Connecticut college to the bland suburbs of Philadelphia, from frenzied Manhattan to politically turbulent Lithuania, and from a seniors’ luxury liner off the coast of Nova Scotia back to the entropy of life in the heartland, Franzen takes a sweeping look at our benighted culture of plenty.
		Although sprawling, The Corrections isn’t a bloated book filled with meaningless digressions and unresolved subplots; neither is it as self-conscious as, say, David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest in its occasional postmodern tics and comic inventiveness.
		She conspires to keep up appearances even as her self-delusions about the family’s (and her own) well-being implode on an ill-fated cruise.

	Review \| The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
		If portions of The Corrections threaten to collapse under the weight of Franzen's machinations, we can forgive him: it buckles with such stylishness you have to give him points for trying even while you wade through crazy plot twists that you sense on the first read will never be connected.
		In the end, reading The Corrections is like watching a chef at Benihana: The knives float threateningly in the air, their action like dangerous poetry and that poetry sometimes takes your breath away.
		What makes The Corrections work is Franzen's sharp eye, attention to detail and, ultimately, his ability to let us see deeply into people who, at first take, don't appear to warrant a second glance.

	Barnes & Noble.com - The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen - Paperback - 1ST PICADO
		Supremely intelligent and deeply affecting, The Corrections anatomizes both a family and a society, gracefully illuminating the inner lives of a handful of characters struggling to escape "the givens of the self," and to find and apply "the corrections" that will transform and redeem their lives.
		Jonathan Franzen's third novel, The Corrections, is a great work of art and a grandly entertaining overture to our new century: a bold, comic, tragic, deeply moving family drama that stretches from the Midwest at mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of greed and globalism.
		Which, of course, is the redemptive hat trick of great literature: The Lamberts may be humming with unhappiness, but we are left humming with their — and our own — humanity.

		"The Corrections" has been delivered with a blizzard of media hype than can be off-putting to the very readers the publishers want to reach (people starved for serious, readable, intelligent fiction.) But you really should get ahold of this excellent novel.
		This is the heart-wrenching story of a family torn apart by the ravages of modern times, which yet, find a way to share tender moments in a satisfying Christmas reunion.
		Although "The Corrections" lacks the intense social dialogue of Dostoevsky or Jonjak, it is a fullfilling effort and, if the weight of the other two is too great, a far more readable effort.
