Correctional facility psychologists, counselors, staff, and policymakers would be the people I'd be speaking to.
In order to address the shortcomings of the current system;
it is imperative that counselors and psychologists have an accurate understanding of how effective psychological treatments are for inmates.
In a similar vein, individuals who are in charge of formulating policies and programs should be familiar with such best practices and information.
Future Career goals
Becoming a psychological counsellor to help people with mental health problems in jail
Counselling inmates on how to avoid stress
intervene therapeutically with various clients, the majority of whom happen to be offenders.
These interventions include prison adjustment, prerelease and postrelease vocational and marital/family readjustment

Future research
For the sake of both the correctional personnel and the inmates under their care, I will research about prison security which is of paramount importance.
Restrictive housing population management,
classification and assessment, special population management,
security examine all fall under the umbrella of prison security research to be undertaken.
