Whitford C: The Soul of the Midwest

The Soul of the Midwest

A Cultural, Historical, and Human Journey Through America's Heartland

WHAT, WHY AND HOW?

HUMAN RIGHTS

Sustainable correctional culture is not created by chance. It is built, maintained, and defended every day-one detail at a time.

Correctional facilities are among the most complex and high-risk environments in public safety. Jails are responsible for protecting staff, maintaining order, safeguarding inmates, and preserving public trust-all while facing staffing shortages, mental health crises, digital contraband, and increasing scrutiny.

Yet many facilities fail for the same reason: small lapses in discipline, professionalism, and accountability are ignored until disorder becomes normalized.
Broken Windows Behind Bars: Transforming Jail Operations Through Order and Accountability applies the widely recognized Broken Windows Theory to the unique realities of jail and detention operations. Written by Shaun Klucznik, a career corrections professional since 1997 and President of the American Jail Association (2025-2026), this book provides a clear, experience-based framework for building sustainable order inside correctional facilities.

Klucznik draws from decades of jail leadership, staff training, and operational command to show how minor infractions-unchecked sanitation issues, inconsistent counts, lax supervision, and silent peer culture-create conditions for violence, contraband, escapes, lawsuits, and institutional collapse. More importantly, he shows how correcting small details consistently creates professionalism that endures.

This book goes beyond theory. Through real-world case studies, leadership analysis, and practical tools, readers learn how to:Apply Broken Windows principles to jail operations and detention facilities
Build accountability through peer correction and supervisor presence
Strengthen staff morale while reducing burnout and turnover
Prevent security failures before they escalate into crises
Integrate training, policy, and accreditation into lasting culture
Use technology as a support tool without undermining human judgment



Broken Windows Behind Bars is written for jail administrators, detention officers, supervisors, sheriffs, policymakers, criminal justice students, and public safety leaders who want practical solutions-not temporary programs.

This is not a book about punishment. It is a book about professionalism, safety, and ethical responsibility. When order is enforced consistently, jails become safer for staff, more stable for inmates, and more credible to the communities they serve.

Transforming Jail Operations Through Order and Accountability

Broken Windows Behind Bars

Go to every funeral. The instruction arrived in a small cafe in Newark, New Jersey, delivered by a mother to her college-age daughter with a pointed finger and a tapped table. Six words. No explanation. No qualification. Just a command that contained, compressed into a single sentence, an entire philosophy of human obligation.David Boles carried that instruction for twenty-five years, through the deaths of a neighbor he kissed as a terrified five-year-old, a grandfather he watched die over years of weekend drives across Nebraska, a mother whose preplanned funeral left her survivors with nothing to do, a mentor who saved his life with a single phone call, a friend who died by suicide, and a cat who was his closest writing companion for fifteen years. Each loss tested the instruction. Each loss confirmed it.Go to Every Funeral: How Grief Defines the Living is a hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken.The investigation begins in the body, where neuroscience reveals that grief is a form of learning, a slow revision of the brain's internal map of the world. It moves through the animal kingdom, where elephants stand vigil over their dead and crows hold gatherings that researchers can only call funerals. It traces the history of death in America, from the family parlor to the professional funeral home to the refrigerated trucks of the COVID-19 pandemic. It surveys mourning practices across the globe, from the Torajan highlands of Indonesia to the burning ghats of Varanasi to the jazz funerals of New Orleans, identifying a universal grammar of mourning that every culture shares: communal acknowledgment, physical task, temporal structure, and an ongoing relationship with the dead.The book follows the money, examining how the American funeral industry converts grief into expenditure and how media organizations ration public mourning by race, class, and narrative potential. It confronts the culture of suppression that tells men not to cry, gives employees three days of bereavement leave, and excludes children from the rituals that would teach them how to grieve. It asks what happens when grief is disenfranchised, when the loss of a pet, a country, or a public figure is dismissed because it falls outside the approved hierarchy of things worth mourning.At its center is Howard Stein's instruction to the author after the death of Janna's mother: "Allow her to have her grief." Seven words that articulate the principle every grief suppressant violates. Grief belongs to the griever, and the only question is whether the world will let it be.

Go to Every Funeral

The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State is an 1884 philosophical treatise by Friedrich Engels. It is partially based on notes by Karl Marx to Lewis H. Morgan's book Ancient Society (1877). The book is an early historical materialist work and is regarded as one of the first major works on family economics.

The writing of The Origin of the Family began in early April 1884, and was completed on 26 May. Engels began work on the treatise after reading Marx's handwritten synopsis of Lewis H. Morgan's Ancient Society; or, Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, Through Barbarism to Civilization, first published in London in 1877. Engels believed that Marx had intended to create a critical book-length treatment of the ideas suggested by Morgan, and aimed to produce such a manuscript to fulfill his late comrade's wishes

"Advancing Nonprofit Management: Innovations, Challenges and Best Practices" is a Reprint of a Special Issue in Administrative Sciences. It includes an introduction looking broadly at the field and eight articles examining specific innovations. Nonprofits operate in diverse environments, sometimes with clear boundaries and accountabilities and other times in ways that blur with other institutions' goals, actions, and outcomes. Over the past decade, many nonprofits have implemented new practices, processes, and structures that raise questions about how management innovations emerge, diffuse, and shape performance. The Reprint helps answer these questions by featuring nonprofit organizations (NGOs) that play a central, sometimes collaborative, role in tackling social issues, shaping priorities, delivering services, and addressing needs.
The Reprint highlights planned and unplanned innovations ranging from radical to incremental. The authors explore management-level and worker-led innovations, such as how nonprofits mobilize human, financial, technological, and other resources to fulfill their mission. They examine the positive and negative consequences of processes and outcomes of innovation, considering strategic decisions, sustainability, collaboration, and ethics. The Reprint provides insights and recommendations relevant to scholars, practitioners, funders, and policymakers concerned with nonprofit organization practices and effectiveness.

Rethinking Leadership Development

Decolonizing Our World is an invitation to rethink the stories we have inherited about humanity, power, knowledge, and belonging. Written for a wide, global audience, this book explores how colonial frameworks continue to shape education systems, languages, religions, political structures, and global relationships-and how we can move beyond them.

Blending history, philosophy, and accessible analysis, it challenges inherited hierarchies while recentering humanity's shared origins, interconnected cultures, and collective future. Rather than assigning blame, it offers clarity, reflection, and pathways toward unity grounded in truth, dignity, and mutual respect.

This book is for readers seeking understanding without division, transformation without erasure, and a future shaped by cooperation, justice, and peace.

Transforming Environmental Politics and Policy

Debating Planetary Politics offers a range of perspectives that together provide a comprehensive overview of the issues and ideas central to the emerging field of planetary politics, giving due attention to its history, while primarily and uniquely advancing the contemporary state of the debate.An eco-centric planetary politics first became a prospective new turn for the world politics of humanity when scientists around 1970 discovered that the Earth system, including its biospheric ecology, exists in a biogeochemical composition which enables and furthers the conditions for life on this planet, and that our species is causing an Earth system crisis that is jeopardizing planetary habitability. This book examines how to best navigate through this Earth system crisis and expands on what planetary politics is about by including multispecies and critical perspectives that were not prominent before. It is argued that the current global governance architecture is inadequate for ending the crisis. We will need a new planetary politics. But what do we have in mind when we talk about planetary politics? This complex inter- and transdisciplinary debate does not only require a sound grasp of the relevant Earth system science, but also of the cultural, social, economic, and political worldviews and practices that have brought about the present malaise, and of how old and new alternatives might enable constructive steps forward. This book therefore has a diverse group of expert contributors. They offer a variety of complementary and competing theoretical perspectives from Political Science, Political Theory, Political Economy, International Relations, Philosophy, and Sociology, getting to the core of what thinking in terms of planetary politics signifies in different registers.Establishing planetary politics as its own distinct field, Debating Planetary Politics is important reading for students and scholars from a range of disciplines, including Global Environmental Politics, Political Science, International Relations (IR), Political Theory/Philosophy, Development Studies, Political Economy, Earth System Science, Environmental Humanities, Global/Intellectual History, Political Geography, Political Sociology, and Science and Technology Studies (STS).

Bold Quiet Warrior is an invitation to unlock the leader already in you.

Not through volume or visibility, but through practice-through preparation, responsibility, and care.

Drawing from a life shaped by family legacy, movement work, and leadership inside institutions, Diallo K. Brooks reflects on the quiet disciplines that sustain change over time. This book does not offer formulas or shortcuts. Instead, it explores what leadership asks of us when the spotlight fades: earning voice through preparation, stewarding power without ego, honoring capacity, and building what lasts.

Bold Quiet Warrior speaks to organizers, public servants, institution¿builders, and anyone who feels the pull of responsibility but resists performative leadership. It is for those who understand that leadership is not something bestowed or claimed-it is something already present, waiting to be practiced with intention.

This is not a story about arrival. It is an invitation to alignment. To lead from where you are. To stay when the work is slow.

Leadership does not always announce itself. Sometimes it begins quietly, when you choose to step forward.

Bold Quiet Warrior invites you to unlock that choice.

Bold Quiet Warrior

The book describes, in careful and full detail, the challenges that minority or people of color, especially African Americans encountered while growing up and starting their careers in the American South during the decades of the 1950s and 60s and again, quite often throughout their lives and careers well into the 1970s, 80s, 90s and further into the 2000s. Challenges that thwarted their efforts in trying to seek or achieve some semblance of the American dream afforded " ordinary" American citizens. It outlines many of the trials, tribulations, race-based antics, and horrors that many within family and peer generations encountered and endured during course of the post-Reconstruction period throughout the state of Mississippi and the American South.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (née Perkins; July 3, 1860 - August 17, 1935), also known by her first married name Charlotte Perkins Stetson, was an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. She has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.

What are the everyday life strategies of single mothers that help to effectivelycope with daily hardships? What modes of resistance are employed, articulated or imagined by single mothers as they navigate their dailyroutines?This is the premise of the study that offers an in-depth ethnographic studyof well-educated single mothers in Kaunas, Lithuania - a post-socialistsemi-periphery marked by structural precarity. Through feminist activistethnography, this thesis examines how single mothers develop material, emotional, and social strategies to survive and care within conditionsshaped by neoliberalism, insufficient welfare systems, and societal stigma.The concept of care is placed at the centre of this dissertation, highlightingcare labour as often unpaid and invisibilized, yet - central to single mothers'lives, constituting both a burden and a potential site of resistance. This thesisalso examines how normative ideals of family, motherhood, and successintersect with class, gender, and labour to shape women's lived experiences.
