Canada AN EVALUATION OF CTP ii Abstract Despite the need for training evaluation, many organizations do not adequately evaluate their training programs. When organizations do evaluate their training, they often rely on Kirkpatrick’s (1959a) four-level evaluation framework, which focuses on trainee reactions, learning, behavioural outcomes, and results for the organization. This is one of the most widely used evaluation frameworks despite the fact that it has many limitations, one of the most serious being its narrow focus on just a few training outcomes at each level of the framework. An expanded version of this framework was used to evaluate the Correctional Training Program (CTP), which attempts to provide correctional officers who might be hired by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively manage offenders within institutions. Three specific issues were examined: (1) Does CTP produce positive changes in trainees (e.g., with respect to domain-relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes)?; (2) Do the training outcomes measured at each level of the expanded framework correlate with one another?; and (3) Do barriers to training effectiveness (e.g., lack of supervisor support) moderate the relationships between the training levels? By analyzing the data from 102 CTP trainees, valuable information was obtained concerning the effectiveness of CTP with respect to a wide variety of trainee reactions, learning gains, and the degree to which knowledge and skills transferred to the job. However, the results from this study do not suggest that the training outcomes measured at each level of the expanded framework correlate with one another, nor do they suggest that the training effectiveness factors, as measured in the current study, significantly moderate training outcomes, with the exception of content validity and self-efficacy. The theoretical and practical implications AN EVALUATION OF CTP iii of these results are discussed, along with a discussion of the suitability of an expanded version of Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation framework. Recommendations for CSC as well as directions for future research are also suggested. AN EVALUATION OF CTP iv Acknowledgements I once read that a mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you than you see in yourself, and that they help bring it out in you. Craig, you have certainly been a mentor to me over the past eight years and I would like to thank you for your unwavering support and confidence in my academic pursuits. I have learned many things from you that I will take forward into my own career, such as your objectivity, your dedication to your students, and your pragmatism. I feel so very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you and learn from you. My graduate career has been an amazing experience in large part because of you. I would like to thank all of my committee members for their time and thoughtful insights - Drs. Patti Phillips, Ralph Serin, Shelley Brown,, and George Pollard. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the staff of the Learning & Development Branch and the Regional Staff Colleges of the Correctional Service of Canada for their assistance, support and encouragement, as well as all of the correctional officer participants. A very special thank you to the members of my evaluation team - Steve Loeb, Jean-Luc Chamaillard, Carl Jalbert, Julia Crosier, and Jacques Brien - your expertise, time and support have been invaluable. Also, funding from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council has helped to make this research possible. For the countless hours spent listening, collaborating with and encouraging me, I must thank my colleagues past and present of the Police Research Lab, as well as Natalie Pressburger, Etelle Bourassa, April McGrath, and Clare Wilkinson. I am grateful to my friends Erin Crawley and John Edmunds who took care of my boys, Jax and Loki, during AN EVALUATION OF CTP v my many trips for data collection. For their endless love and support, I have to thank my parents, who have always believed in me. I share this success with you both. Lastly, but certainly not least, to Marc-Antoine, whose love has kept me going over the past few years. Thank you for your encouragement and support, your patience, and for putting my needs ahead of your own. The boys thank you too for playing with them when I was too busy...

Wards Of The State: Care And Custody In A Pennsylvania Prison Abstract In this dissertation, I examine the challenges and contradictions as well as the expectations and aspirations involved in the provision of healthcare to inmates in a maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania. In 1976, the Supreme Court granted inmates a constitutional right to healthcare based on the notion that a failure to do so would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment.” Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork from 2014-2016 in the prison’s medical unit with inmates, healthcare providers, and correctional staff, I demonstrate how the legal infrastructure built around this right to healthcare operates in practice and the myriad effects it has for those in state custody. Through traversing the scales of legal doctrine, privatized managed care, and collective historical memory, bringing these structural components to life in personal narratives and clinical interactions, I advance the notion that the physical space of the prison’s medical unit is a “ward of the state” – a space of care where the state itself is “made” through interactions among individuals who relay and enact the legal regulations on inmate healthcare.

  • Prison Visits: on the Outside Looking in Victoria Simpson Beck, Stephen C
    Prison Visits: On the Outside Looking In Victoria Simpson Beck, Stephen C. Richards and Preston Elrod he American prison population continues to grow. According to the TBureau of Justice Statistics, as of December 31, 2006, there were 2,258,983 people in American prisons and jails. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is the largest prison system in the United States. As of February 2008, the Federal Bureau of Prisons listed 114 institutions with a total prisoner population of 200,931. The majority of federal prisoners are housed in institutions miles away from their last place of residence, serving extremely long sentences for non-violent offences (Mumola, 2000). Research has found that one major impediment to visiting loved- ones in prison is the distance to the prison (Casey-Acevedo and Bakken, 2002). Visitors face transportation and financial barriers to visiting (Tewksbury and DeMichele, 2006). It is an exhausting, resource- intensive process for a family member to make one visit to a prison (Christian, 2006). Consequently, 41.1 percent of federal prisoners never receive a visit from their family (Mumola, 2000), and are more likely to serve their time in social isolation and feel the pains of imprisonment more acutely. One way to reduce those pains for federal and state prisoners is through volunteer prison visitation work, which is shown to help prisoners cope with life in the penitentiary and build relationships (Duncan and Balbar, 2008). People may decide to volunteer to visit prisoners for religious, spiritual, moral, ethical, social, personal or professional reasons. Numerous religious organizations sponsor and encourage volunteers to visit prisons.

  • Review of Federal Bureau of Prisons' Monitoring of Contract Prisons
    OfOfffiiccee ooff tthhee IInnssppececttoorr GGenenereraall UU.S.S.. DDeeppaarrtmetmenntt ooff JJuusstiticcee Review of the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Monitoring of Contract Prisons Evaluation and Inspections Division 1 6-06 August 2016 * EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), which is the component of the Department of Justice (Department) responsible for incarcerating all federal defendants sentenced to prison, was operating at 20 percent over its rated capacity as of December 2015. To help alleviate overcrowding and respond to congressional mandates, in 1997 the BOP had begun contracting with privately operated institutions (often referred to as “contract prisons”), at first on a smaller scale and later more extensively, to confine federal inmates who are primarily low security, criminal alien adult males with 90 months or less remaining to serve on their sentences. As of December 2015, contract prisons housed roughly 22,660 of these federal inmates, or about 12 percent of the BOP’s total inmate population. These contract prisons were operated by three private corporations: Corrections Corporation of America; GEO Group, Inc.; and Management and Training 1 Corporation. The BOP’s annual expenditures on contract prisons increased from approximately $562 million in fiscal year (FY) 2011 to $639 million in FY 2014. In recent years, disturbances in several federal contract prisons resulted in extensive property damage, bodily injury, and the death of a Correctional Officer. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this review to examine how the BOP monitors these facilities. We also assessed whether contractor performance meets certain inmate safety and security requirements and analyzed how contract prisons and similar BOP institutions compare with regard to inmate safety and security data.

Samuels, Jr. and the executive staff of the Bureau of Prisons for their assistance and support in conducting an independent assessment of the restrictive housing programs within the agency. This review could not have been successfully completed without Director Samuels’ strong personal support of the scope of the review and the goals and objectives of this project. His personal involvement and interest in the independent review of the operations and programs of this aspect of the Bureau was critical to completing the assessment. In addition, the project team thanks the wardens and staff of the institutions visited by the team for their outstanding support and willingness to fully open their operation to outside scrutiny. Finally, this project could not have been possible without the support and deep involvement of the National Institute of Corrections and Acting Director Robert M. Brown, Jr. and his staff. In particular, the CNA project team is grateful to Shaina Vanek for her commitment to and coordination of the project and for facilitating communication and the exchange of information between the project team and the Bureau staff. Without her personal involvement and the initiative she took to find resolution to literally every challenge that arose during the project, this report could not have been completed.
