Developed for line staff, this 32-hour workshop covers 12 steps to effective inmate management. Segments include: introduction, orientation to direct supervision, officer role in the unit: influencing behavior, principles of running a direct supervision housing unit, building flexibility in your leadership style, planning and organizing in the unit, managing differences in the unit, managing inmate behavior, managing difficult situations and inmates, establishing yourself in the unit, housing unit laboratory, and workshop closeout. The goal of the workshop is to provide officers skills that will enable them to operate a direct supervision housing unit: leadership, decision making, conflict management, problem solving, planning and goal setting, and behavior management. The curriculum package contains lesson plans and a participant manual.
Also included is the videotape entitled, "Jails in America: A Report on Podular Direct Supervision." The strengths of podular/direct supervision are explained. This video provides information regarding: the three types of jail design and inmate management (i.e., linear/intermittent surveillance, podular/remote supervision, and podular/direct supervision); benefits of direct supervision; the eight key principles of direct supervision; inmate management strategies; booking; orientation; classification; the day room; the housing unit; disciplinary segregation housing; and inmate programs. Jail officials from around the U.S. comment on direct supervision.
