Correctional Staff Perspectives on Prison Climate: Evidence from the Prison Research & Innovation Initiative
Wed, Nov 16, 11:00am to 12:20pm, L401, Lobby LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
The Prison Research & Innovation Initiative (PRII) is a five-year project that aims to build evidence and spur innovation to make prisons more humane, safe, and reliable environments. A core part of PRII is the Prison Research & Innovation Network (PRIN), a collective of five state departments of corrections and associated researchers who are working locally to understand and improve conditions in their facilities. In 2021, these five sites administered a comprehensive climate survey to correctional staff in a pilot facility in order to understand how they viewed the environment in which they work and where they see priorities for reform. This panel features key themes and findings from this survey, along with anticipated action steps to follow.
