Such changes can occur intentionally, through behavior modification, without intention, or change rapidly in situations of mental illness. . However, few departments have the knowledge base or skills for raising the most effective form of motivation within their offender populations (intrinsic motivation that comes "from within" rather than being coerced from without). This workshop will examine motivation and will outline strength-based strategies, on incentive-based approach for raising cooperation and positive change. This presentation will benefit all staff and supervisors in direct contact with offender populations. Coordinator: Michael D.

In particular, lifestyles of inmates put them at high risk for infection with blood borne pathogens. Both custodial and medical staff incur risk during the course of their occupational duties in dealing with the incarcerated population. Policies and procedures Policies and Procedures are a set of documents that describe an organization's policies for operation and the procedures necessary to fulfill the policies. They are often initiated because of some external requirement, such as environmental compliance or other governmental govern most of these situations.

These outcomes are not limited to the realm of program interventions but also involve day-to-day management and operational issues and practices. The workshop will describe findings from a three-year study of research and practice about gender-responsive operations and programs, The principal investigators of the study and practitioner experts will define a set of guiding principles for gender responsive practice and the research which supports those principles. In small discussion groups, participants will have an opportunity to discuss the implications of these principles for practice in community corrections, jails and prisons.

Rather than determining whether specific activities or features are present, performance-based standards focus on the success or failures of outcomes. For many desirable outcomes in corrections, the measures are readily available (e.g., reduction in the percentage of reoffenders). For physical security systems, the number of desired outcomes may be difficult to quantify or are unquantifiable (e.g., How does one measure escape attempts, which were never made due to improved security effectiveness?]. A methodology is presented which can be used to evaluate the performance effectiveness of physical security systems. Such performance effectiveness evaluations can generate measures which might become part of performance-based standards and which would supplement traditional physical security system inspections.
