    FUTURE CHALLENGES OF THE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM:
    • STAFF DIVERSITY AND RATIO TO A MULTICULTURAL PRISON POPULATION 
    • "Professional staff are critical to a successful correctional agency" and currently there appears to be a lack of diversity in the staff to inmate population ratio. With overcrowding, not having sufficient staff to cover the vast level of issues, concerns, and special populations is an absolute dire problem (Seiter, 2011).

I agree Professor that although the idea of reentry is a great one, depending on the level of monitoring required for prisoners released back into society the vast options aren't necessarily considered as an actual downfall or 'relapse' for those who are in need of positive and frequent reinforcement.
