Assignment Instructions/ Description
Project Assignment
You are working on the Director of Programs for a large state correctional system. The Director comes to you with three (3) projects, which are intended for formal presentation to the Commissioner of Correction. Each project has specific goals. Each report must identify:
• Does the proposal require negotiations with the Union, and why;
• What stakeholders should be consulted, and why;
• Is there a need for staff training prior to implementation, explain what training and why it is necessary;
• Will there be a cost involved and are there any potential sources of funding e.g. grants.
Directors Project #1
With few exceptions, every inmate in the system is destined to return to the community. Successful transition from institutional life to community-based supervision is dependent upon the pre-reentry program the inmate will complete prior to parole. The proposed program will deliver an orientation for inmates who are about to transition from institutional-based confinement to community-based supervision (parole). The assignment will provide a detailed description of the program content, who will receive the program and the methodology for delivering the program.
Director's Project #2
The Director has previously provided the Commissioner with the results of a "Best Practices" Report (Class Project #2). Now the Director wishes to provide an implementation plan for the "Best Practice" outlined in the report.
Director's Project #3
Within the Commissioner’s correctional system a large medium security prison is nearing completion. This institution will house 1,000 male inmates transferred in from around the state. The transferees have already been identified. All are convicted felons and their projected average length of institutional incarceration is approximately 37 months. As a member of the staff of the Programs Director your assignment is to identify which traditional correctional programs should be included at the new institution to meet the needs of these offenders. Describe each program, the eligibility criteria for inmates (if any), and the intended outcomes.
