To Manage Inmates - Instructive Experiences in Corrections

Experience is an honest guide. It informs our expectations when we manage prisoners. For CJ students and new hires, the experiences of veterans provides vicarious experience that builds confidence for new hires and guards against future manipulation attempts. This section includes a topic index.

If I Ran the Zoo - Novel Suggestions from the Inside

In this section, I invite others on the “inside” to send their ideas to include. This opportunity will help amplify the ideas of those of us who work with prisoners every day. We deserve a place at the table when policy decisions are being made.
