RESEARCH CONDUCTED TO DEFINE THE FUNCTIONS, ROLES, AND TASKS OF NON-SPECIALIZED CORRECTIONAL PERSONNEL IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR EUROPEAN PRISON SYSTEMS.
Abstract
THE SURVEY FINDINGS FROM THIRTEEN EUROPEAN STATES INDICATED THAT THE ESSENTIAL TASK OF THE BASIC GRADE CUSTODIAL STAFF HAS BEEN TO ENSURE THE SAFE CUSTODY OF PRISONERS AND TO MAINTAIN ORDER IN PRISONS. THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS CHANGES IN RECRUITMENT POLICY, TRAINING PROGRAMS, PAY RATES, COMMUNICATION WITHIN THE PRISON ADMINISTRATION, AND OTHER PERSONNEL PRACTICES IN ORDER TO ENGAGE CUSTODIAL STAFF IN REFORMATIVE WORK WITH PRISONERS.
