The idea behind corrections facilities is to take a criminal and rehabilitate them so that they may reenter society a better person and as one that may become a contributor to society instead of taking from society. There are a wide variety of issues that the clients in corrections might have. Many might have the same main issues but the underlying issues that cause those issues are the ones that really need the work. These are the main behavioral plans that case managers will work on
CORRELATES OF CORRECTIONAL OFFICER JOB STRESS: The Impact of Organizational Structure The article “Correlates of Correctional Officer Job Stress: The Impact of Organizational Structure,” is a study that was conducted to determine if there was a correlation between organizational structure on correctional officer job stress. Instrumental communication, integration, centralization, and legitimacy were forms of organizational structure discussed in the article. According to Allen, Hogan, & Lambert (2006), centralization, which is defined in the study as control employees have in decisions making and how it affects the staff and organization, was found to have a counter impact on the organization commitment and job satisfaction. Instrumental communication, which is defined as the information employee received about their task, their job, organizational issues and concerns, had a positive link between the correctional staff and the organization. Integration, which is the degree that an organization stresses and allows over work groups, was found to lead to a friendly and pleasant work environment with higher integration.

Conflict arises from a clash of perceptions, goals, or values in an arena where people care about the outcome. Confusion can cause conflict because individuals in the organization want to achieve their own personal goals while also working with others to achieve the common mission of the organization. Conflict can be helpful in making necessary changes within the home or work environment. However, unresolved conflict can result in feelings of dissatisfaction, unhappiness, hopelessness, depression, and other emotions. Most conflicts in the workplace can lead to a lot of negative situations, such as being permanently dismissed from your job, work productivity can decrease, it can also increase absenteeism (which is having numerous absences from your job) and sometimes could even result in violence or serious crimes.
Every ethical theory has its own unique way on looking into issues. Utilitarian stands out the most to me because it stands for the belief that moral rules should be choices made by a society to promote the happiness of its members. Through the utilitarian view the argument could be made that these prisoners are being treated to good and not good enough. If this theory was utilized within the jail system many issues would be solved and go along with the right and not wrong. I was a Correction Officer for a few years in the city jail called Rikers Island.
Although initially disturbed that the student-teacher relationship mirrored that of corrections officers and prisoners, Sipe (2004) seemed to accept this type of interaction as necessary to maintain authority. Sipe (2004) also compared the physical and emotional impact of stress, which he and the other teachers at his schools faced, to the impact of stress as described by Connover (as cited in Sipe, 2004) for corrections officers. In addition, Sipe (2004) compared changing the culture of his school to that of a corrections officer and changing a prison’s culture from the corrections officer’s post. Sipe (2004) stated that in the face of such a task, he would prefer leaving. The primary learning perspective portrayed in the article is the Behavioral theory of learning or Behaviorism.
Prison Life and Strategies to Reduce Recidivism Student’s name: Institution: Prison Life and Strategies to Reduce Recidivism Introduction All societies in the world acknowledge the fundamental role that prisons and jails play in ensuring that law breakers receive the punishment they deserve. At the same time, prisons offer the offenders an opportunity to reform and become better people in the society. In the United States, an estimated two million inmates are housed in jails and prisons of the country. Statistics indicate that a large percentage of these prisoners is comprised of people who have been imprisoned in the past, as well as, those who have not been inmates in the past. The issue of prison conditions and the impacts they have on the future lives of inmates has attracted significant interest in the American society.
Problems and Effects on Prisoners After Reintegration Robert Williamson CJUS_ 200 Professor Katherine Pang There are often many problems and effects with the reintegration of prisoners into the free world. Some of the common issues and effects some prisoners face after incarceration is finding jobs, institutionalization, recidivism, and their social ability. Reintegration of prisoners is a public safety issue to some, but must be addressed because we need to find a way to resolve the effects so the people coming out can have a better life and a more positive influence. The effects can range from physical to phycological. Over the course this study we will break down the different effects and try to figure out why our nation has increased prison inmates fourfold.
Getting the prisoners to work with me and not making my job more complicated would be a major goal of mine if I was to be in this type of position. Instead of forcing prisoners to do something by threatening them I would rather have the prisoners be rewarded for complying with what I say to give them more encouragement to listen and be compliant. Name and describe the various types of employees that can be found in a correctional institution. Give an example of each. Discuss each employee's goals and discuss the ways these various goals compliment or contradict one another.
Stress In The Workplace Stress can have a positive effect in the workplace and alternatively, too much stress can also have negative impact both at work & in the home. Everybody is functioning within their own unique set of external influences & their proportions in life. As a result, everybody responds differently to stress. What drives one person even harder to succeed can simply put others into a feeling of overwhelm & helplessness. We all have different skill sets & are equipped to handle certain situations powerfully, however nobody possesses the skill set to be able to powerfully address every situation that arises.
