Publisher's Synopsis
Following to prison tragedies in 2011, Washington's Assistant Secretary for Prisons Division charged a small task force to make substantive changes for improving staff safety. The group tapped the expertise of 800+ first level supervisors and staff, guiding structured conversations about their work and work places. In this series of Prison Safety Forums, supervisors discovered not just new ways to thinking about safety, but new ways to approach the work of corrections. This book extends the risk and safety models explored in these forums to other organizational levels for a broader corrections conversation. Prison safety is presented as a multi-dimensional framework that includes strategies for improving personal safety, situational. safety, place safety and organizational safety.
