5. From the critical issues listed above, what do you think are the trends for Corrections?
Training is a critical issue because without on-going training and keeping abreast of new ideas, technology and current jail
Issues, staff could fall short of providing effective safety and security measures. Retention is also an issue for staff because
They become complacent in their duties which can also affect the safety and security of the facility
Thank you for your participation!
