Abstract: 

Robert E. Brown, a former parole manager with the Correctional Services of Canada and a member of ICCA, writes about efforts to assist and work with African correctional colleagues. This article centers on efforts ongoing in South Sudan. Brown’s approach is to find concrete and practical ways to engage Western correctional practitioners with African correctional workers. He builds his argument by demonstrating how the sharing of criminal justice books with the correctional libraries in Africa can assist in making both the staff and the systems in Africa more efficient.
