Q It is Monday morning, February 4, 2019 and you are now in command as Warden at Milford State Prison. As with any upward promotion situation you approach your new position with a combination of pride in your selection and apprehension about how you will perform in this very demanding assignment. You are well at home inside the walls and inside the security perimeter after so many prior years of service. That will be the easiest part of the new assignment. You are know that staff will watch every move you make and every step you walk to see what type of Boss you will be and this will start from 8:00 AM this morning though you wonder if your arrival was observed when you rolled into the driveway of your state house late on Saturday evening and moved in your few rooms of personal goods on Sunday. From your training and experience as a new Assistant Warden at Bridgeview you know you will be watched and observed and you support that and want that so staff will begin to both watch and mirror your work ethic and approach to both the new position as Warden and as a fellow staff member at Milford. You immediately start to think of how the staff at Milford will conduct their core - basic work in correctional operations starting this first day of your tenure as Warden. Will they follow all those pages of policy and procedure within Milford State Prison or will they conduct their work with the complacency that was rumored seeking to avoid the inmate accountability and their own accountability that you know is so central to operating a safe, secure and constitutionally based correctional facility? You know and believe from all of your training and experience that strong and consistent management is needed to provide a safe and secure environment for both staff and inmates. Coercion is not necessarily an effective technique to control the activities in a correctional facility. Operating Milford in any fashion that minimizes staff control mover every inch of the facility operations is not acceptable and you arrive with that belief - staff own the facility and inmates will wasn't to also know that core management principle that you will seek to implement throughout every housing unit, program area and staff component of Milford State Prison. Questions: 1. Citing at least one article on correctional management, identify a strategy or method used by effective correctional managers (Warden) to control and guide the organization - what dominant principle or process are you bringing with you to Milford that will help strongly focus your initial work as Warden? (150 words for each question) 2. What is your greatest apprehension about your ability to succeed as the Chief Administrative Officer of this prison and what do you intend to do immediately to respond to your apprehension starting of Day #1?
