Since 1868; the Lansing Correctional Facility (formerly the Kansas State Penitentiary) has stood watch over what would become the city of Lansing. Designed by Erasmus Carr; architect of the Kansas State Capitol; the prison is the oldest in Kansas. In the beginning; it housed male and female inmates from Kansas and Oklahoma; as well as inmates serving federal sentences. Today; the facilitys population of minimum; medium; maximum; and special management custody offenders is approximately 2;400. Leavenworth County has also seen the addition of the United States Disciplinary Barracks; United States Penitentiary-Leavenworth; and Corrections Corporation of America-Leavenworth; making it the only county in the country to host a state; military; federal; and private prison. Images of America: Lansing Correctional Facility features photographs of the early days; when inmates were on the "silent system" and could not speak to one another; to more modern times when rehabilitation has become an important component of prison life.

All chapters since then have been the same: this is one of the best and most informative books Ive ever read. I have the Kindle version; and am constantly bookmarking pages or highlighting specific information. Union / guild issues are also clearly covered in great detail. What you need to know is here - whether or not you will be partially working as an independent or fully doing so; the knowledge shared in these pages is invaluable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A very enlightening read!By Matthew PietropaoliI havent had much chance to REALLY crack into this book; but thats only because there is so much to cover! The first chapter alone makes the purchase worth it with the loads of information it offers. I had no idea how to even begin as an independent filmmaker as far as the business side of things go; but this book proves to be invaluable every time I pick it back up.
