Description

A jail administrator is faced with the challenge of balancing the institution's need for security and order against the inmates’ rights. Course Summary This five-day course will address the topics important to jail administrators. Taught by experienced jail administrators and jail consultants, this course will hone the skills needed to properly operate a jail from both a personnel level to the legal and budget requirements of jail operations. The jail administrator has a daunting task in balancing public perception and constitutional necessity while focusing on the task of safely and securely holding pre-trial detainees and convicted offenders. As if this were not enough, (s)he must add budget concerns, the potential for civil rights litigation, and employment issues to this already delicate balance. The jail is an important link in the chain of events that we loosely refer to as justice. Its primary goal is to assist in the due process of the accused by assuring their appearance in court. A majority of the jail population are pre-trial detainees, individuals accused of crimes but not yet convicted. These persons are entitled to the same rights as any other citizen subject to the necessity of security measures that must be implemented at the jail. A jail administrator is faced with the challenge of balancing the institution's need for security and order against the inmates’ rights. To do so, one must be aware of the constitutional requirements and be able to correctly apply them to the physical operation of the jail. A jail administrator must deal with employee issues that arise from staff problems. While supervisors may have some latitude in dealing with the day to day issues that arise, the jail administrator is faced with employment decisions that are passed up the chain of command. This course reviews the various employment issues that a jail administrator may encounter. The budget is not a popular issue in jail administration, but it is a necessary tool in the operation of the jail. The budget is like a fuel gauge. If properly monitored, it will let you know how many allocated resources you have left. It is important to utilize this tool as a guideline for operations, as a spending plan, and as a tool to channel resources to be used to achieve certain objectives. InstructorsJoseph M.
