Prison management styles

Firm, Fair, and Consistent

Taking care of officer veterans

Failure rate high on Texas CO career ladder

Dear Leadership eNews subscriber,

We’ve asked our contributors this month to take a close look at leadership technique.

Eric Williams describes the necessity for leaders — especially high-level leaders — to become 'walking wardens' who are tuned into the culture of their facility. Sgt. Barry Evert looks at leadership at the granular level by unpacking a phrase most corrections staff have heard, but which few can define.

Cherrie Greco, in her call for corrections leadership to take good care of returning veteran officers, reminds us that, in the corrections world, protecting staff is as much about healing minds as protecting bodies.
