The effort to arrest the personal and social devastation caused by drug addiction is yet groping and uncertain. New victims of the disease increase regularly. This sociological study describes and analyzes an attempt by the California Department of Corrections, supported by the federal government, to blaze a new trail in returning addicts to a drug-free life. Can a therapeutic community be effectively blended into a State correctional department? Can State agents become effective therapists? What happens when they make the attempt?
