Must Our Prison's be Resorts? ROBERT JAMES BIDINOTTO
A former economics major at Grove City College during the late 1960s, Robert James Bidinotto is an award-winning investigative journalist, author, lecturer, and a nationally recognized expert on crime.
Bidinotto is best known for his investigative crime reports for Reader's Digest. His 1988 article on prison furlough programs helped make convicted murderer Willie Horton a household name, and is credited by many observers with having affected the outcome of that year's presidential campaign between George Bush and Michael Dukakis.
More recently, Bidinotto authored two books, "Criminal Justice?" and "Freed to Kill." The latter, published in November by Safe Streets, has been promoted by Goldman in national media appearances.
