What can they learn from each other? What do they have in common - that thus has been transculturally tested?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe divergent theological-philosophical backgrounds of the two criminal justice systems are presented along with their different accentuations of retributing punishment and rehabilitating restoration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReligious extremism of inmates and \"switching\" of religious orientation in prisons are discussed, the roles of volunteers assessed, and promising restoration methods presented - such as the so-called \"Circles\" or religion-related rehabilitation programs, which have been proven to reduce recidivism by changing inmates' mindsets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book examines chaplains' working styles in ten fields of activity as well as their theological and political leanings, their job satisfaction and factors contributing to overload, their time management, and their \"dreams\" of what could be done better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel B.
