POLITICS OR PRISONERS SCARING OFF THE
POTENTIAL FOR NEW GUARDS?
Let's go inside the world of correctional
practitioners to see why the recruiting strategies
aren't working as well as Americans planned.
- Stiff Politics
- Budget Woes
- Prison Overcrowding
- Frequent Staff Relocation

- (Seiter, 2011) "If, as proponents of the use of incarceration argue, incapacitating offenders in prison reduces crime, then at some point a large number of potential criminals will be in jail and prison, and the increase in new admissions will have to slow down" explains the growth and reduction rate of the unpredictable rise and fall of prison populations which makes sticking to a schedule far more difficult than relying on a strict policy for maintaining prison policies. As prison population fluctuates unpredictably the stabilized policies structured to organize current and past trends make future organization difficult and prior monitoring strategies not as useful.

- Legislation plays a major role in the corrections staff gaining ability to alter the ways in which offenders are treated. The treatment of offenders is easy to comprehend by simply offering prison surveys, obtaining opinionated grievances not for only emergency complaints, but just for the purposes of gaining feedback for new ideas.
- Politics plays a major role in obtaining changes, however budget allotment controls the changes successfully becoming reality for not only the staff, administration and contractors of the corrections team, but most importantly for the offender who must remain throughout the duration of their service inside the housing provided to make amends with society and especially without costly migration from jail to prison or facility to institution.
