These four papers examine correctional employee burnout, inmate suicide prevention, youthful offender treatment and facility management, and the use of the automated social history in community corrections. |
| Abstract:
|
The first paper presents results of a study showing high levels of stress-related physical and emotional illness, impaired job performance, and increased marital disruption among personnel in two Kentucky correctional institutions. Logotherapy, an existential approach focusing on increasing individual stress-management skills, is recommended as a means to combat burnout. The second paper describes a suicide prevention program for correctional facilities. Program components include staff training, inmate screening, crisis management, facility design/ modification to enhance inmate supervision, review of suicide incidents, and revision of management policies. The next paper describes staffing, support, admission, and facility design parameters of a therapeutic-community approach to the treatment of substance abusing youthful offenders in Florida. The final paper describes a computerized method for collecting offender social history information for use in inmate treatment and probation decisionmaking. 39 references. |
