About this episode

In today's episode, we’ll dive into the critical topic of conflict resolution strategies and explore how they can be effectively implemented within correctional facilities. Our discussion will focus on fostering a safer, more respectful environment for both staff and inmates, which is essential in such high-pressure settings. 

Correctional facilities are inherently high-stress environments, often filled with tension, unpredictable situations, and interpersonal conflicts. These challenges can create significant barriers to maintaining safety and order. However, by addressing the root causes of conflict and equipping officers with practical, actionable strategies, we can reduce tensions and de-escalate volatile situations.
