My Six Convicts: A Psychologist's Three Years in Fort Leavenworth

My Six Convicts (1951) by Donald Powell Wilson is a seminal work in forensic psychology that chronicles the author’s three years working as a psychologist at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Leavenworth. Through vivid case studies of six inmates, Wilson blends clinical observation, personal reflection, and social commentary to reveal the human stories behind criminal behavior. The book offers practical and compassionate perspectives on rehabilitation, prison life, and the institutional forces that shape inmates’ lives. A landmark in corrections literature, it remains essential reading for psychologists, criminologists, criminal justice professionals, and general readers interested in humane approaches to punishment and reform.

Condition: Very Good. Book is in great condition with an 'ex libris' sticker for M. Frances Hucks on first inside page. Just the dust jacket while smooth and tight on the book does have a lot of tears and holes.
