"This booklet, entitled "The Army Correctional System" has been prepared as an aid in the orientation of personnel assigned to The Adjutant General's Office, as an aid in the orientation and training program for personnel assigned to custodial duties at disciplinary barracks and as correction officers in the various army area headquarters, and as source material for instructional purposes in The Adjutant General's School, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, and The Provost Marshal General's School, Camp Gordon, Georgia. It is believed that this general statement of the history, development, progress, practices, and beliefs which comprise the Army Correctional System, will be of valuable assistance to those whose duties are connected in any way with custodial problems." - Foreword, Major General William E.
