The program has been redesigned and focuses on topics such as risk management; workforce development, jail staffing, operational assessments, jail standards, policies and procedures, inmate behavior management, and budget management. During the program, participants will also examine strategies for delegating responsibility effectively and their role outside the jail - with local government officials, other componenets of the criminal justice system, and the community.
