Description
This solution-focused guide to becoming an effective Prison Officer draws on the lived experiences of ex-prisoners who are now professionals in the criminal justice field. It offers a strengths-based approach, exploring good and bad examples of professional practice and drawing on diverse literature to inform recommendations for best practices in developing a rehabilitative culture in prison.
By examining themes such as discretion, respect, relationships, and legitimacy, this book provides essential insights for practitioners, researchers, and educators seeking to improve penal practice. It aims to reset the balance of voices in the conversation around prisons and penal policy, offering a vital perspective from those with direct experience of custody and incarceration.
