Use Your States Department Of Corrections Website As Well As The Str
Use your state's Department of Corrections Website, as well as the Strayer Library, to research the roles of correctional staff within the correctional organization. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: Distinguish between administrative staff, program staff, and custodial staff; and discuss the importance of each. Rank the four (4) types of power available to correctional staff in order of importance (one [1] being the most important, four [4] being the least important). Provide a rationale for your ranking. Prioritize the following corrections staff concerns, with one (1) being the most important and four (4), the least important: funding, radical inmates, multi-generations, and mental health issues in order of importance. Specify the major impact, whether negative or positive, that each concern will have on corrections staff overall and justify your response. Additionally, discuss the phenomenon of "compassion fatigue" among corrections personnel, speculate on reasons for such indifference, and examine the potential long-term consequences of this behavior, providing a rationale. Use at least three (3) credible references, following APA formatting for citations and references. The assignment must be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. Include a cover page with the title, your name, your professor’s name, course title, and date. The cover page and references page are not included in the 3-5 page requirement.
