Help Out a Masters Student!

>> what's your opinion?

crimstudent
I am a Masters student studying at the University College Dublin. I am studying criminology and criminal justice and for my dissertation project I am researching the different training programs federal correctional officers go through and what your attitudes are towards them and your roles in general. My goal is to contribute knowledge and data to the under-researched area of Correctional Officer training. With more knowledge in the area, we could put in place better training programs to adequately prepare you for the demands of the jobs, reducing job stress and burnout rates and increasing job satisfaction and overall quality of life. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the training you receive!... view full thread

A New Emphasis on Mental Health for Corrections Professionals

Image removed by sender.Robert Winters, JD

Much ink has been spilled describing, studying, analyzing, and in some cases simply bemoaning the mental health issues facing the incarcerated, as well as the gaps in community-level mental health resources that leave jail as the default option for the mentally ill, in particular those who are homeless. Less effort and attention has been spared, however, regarding the mental health challenges that face corrections professionals. That, fortunately, is beginning to change... read full story

Physical Conditioning?

>> what's your opinion?

Vasilisa
I made it through the academy. What I learned… RUN! If you cannot run, jog at a slow pace. Jog slower than a walk if you have to, but push the hell out of yourself to not stop. Not stopping seems to be the key, along with focusing on your breath. I started out doing “one one” inhale counts through the nose and “two two” exhale through mouth rhythmic breathing. An old friend who ran told me that rhythmic breathing is best… well…. not for me. It mimicked hyperventilation cause my ability to keep rhythm apparently blows, and that’s why I almost died... view full thread

A frontline correctional leader must have a tool kit full of experience and education. Being a leader is not walking around with a cup of coffee barking orders or saying “I don’t have time for this right now”. To be a leader you must have an arsenal of knowledge, integrity, loyalty and team management skills readily available. A corrections leader is unique, unlike most jobs a corrections leader deals with supervising not only the correctional staff but the criminal element as well. All day long officers need assistance and inmates have requests that move up through the chain of command... read full story
