Instructions

Project Objectives

to research correctional systems to determine correctional best practices for particular program areas

to synthesize program elements and structures to provide the basis for a program considered to be using best practices

Assignment

Select a program area that you would like to explore to determine the best practices or exemplary programs operated by correctional systems.

Research the field of corrections, correctional journals, correctional periodicals, various departments of corrections, and other resources to identify exemplary correction programs for the area that you have selected.

Determine the elements of these programs that make them exemplary and would be considered “best practice” in the correctional field.

Write up your findings in a report that provides a description of the program, the elements that lead to the success of the program, and the program structure and design that provide for an effective and successful correctional program.

The possible best practices program choices:

Correctional Mental Health

Correctional Health Care

Correctional Education

Correctional Substance Abuse

Reentry Programs

Parole and Probations Supervision

Correctional Sex Offender Programs

If you have another area that you would like to explore for this project, contact the instructor for permission to research another program area.
