In-Custody/Corrections Simulation

The corrections sector of public safety has a unique series of missions and requires a highly trained workforce with a unique skill set. However, according to the National Institute of Justice, correctional departments and facility leadership, particularly those running prisons, jails, and similar facilities, must deal with severe workforce challenges that directly impact in-custody/corrections mission performance. Challenges include recruitment, selection, and retention of correctional officers—but the fundamental challenge involves providing appropriate and effective corrections officer and prison guard training.

Corrections officers and detention officers staff members need to be a highly skilled security force, in order to keep those in correctional facilities and their surrounding communities safe. They also need to be highly skilled in face-to-face interactions, supporting incarcerated individuals for their preparation to become successful, law-abiding citizens upon re-entry. The training needs of the corrections sector of public safety are complex.
