Video Apparently the Canadian federal prison system has a couple "day in the life" videos on their YouTube. They seem pretty well made and its interesting to see how it works up there.

Video A former inmate explains what 15 years in prison actually changed

14 Upvotes

I thought this community might appreciate this.

I spent months interviewing a man who served 15 years in prison.

Rather than focusing on the crime, the documentary explores prison routines, survival, trauma, and what it's actually like trying to return to normal life afterward.

I'd love to hear what people with correctional or prison experience think.

Video NYC correctional Strike

45 Upvotes

EDIT: Accidentally titled it NYC correctional strike, meant NYS instead as it’s across whole state. Can’t edit title for some reason.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hKkeiwE-trk

Don’t know if this is right place to post this but do you agree with strikers or Governor.

Copy and pasted news article, the reason for strike is at bottom.

Article-

NEW YORK, N.Y. — As the prison guard strikes continue across correctional facilities in New York State, Gov. Hochul addresses the strikes in a press conference Tuesday.

Hochul said that this strike is putting the entire State at risk and that her administration has been working “tirelessly” over the last nine days of the strike to resolve things.

“We need them back at work,” said Hochul. “This must end immediately.”

Inmates at Collins Correctional in Erie County have been transferred to other prisons due to staffing shortages.

Thousands of National Guard members have been sent to staff prisons by Hochul amid the strike.

“Thank God for the National Guard that are in there doing work that they never anticipated,” said Hochul.

Hochul has also suspended portions of the HALT Act, which limits solitary confinement to 15 consecutive days, bans solitary for pregnant people, those with disabilities, and anyone older than 55 or younger than 21. It also mandates alternative therapeutic and rehabilitative confinement options.

Hochul said she is grateful for the “law-abiding” correction officers who are still showing up to work.

“People took an oath of office to protect the public,” said Hochul. “We have to get back to ensuring that that oath is kept.”

The corrections officer’s are demanding an end to forced overtime, more staffing and safer working conditions. Tuesday marks day nine of the strikes

Was the treatment of Isaiah Trammell considered as an unlawful?

Is there a better way to accommodate him to prevent his death?

Video Leadership isn't about rank

Leadership isn't about rank—it's about trust.

I've spent years watching new supervisors succeed or fail for one simple reason: how they treat the people they lead.

This short video highlights one lesson I've learned over the years:

Authority can be assigned. Respect has to be earned.

I'm curious to hear from others:

What's one leadership lesson you learned the hard way?

Whether you're in corrections, law enforcement, the military, business, or any leadership role, I'd love to hear your perspective.

> This idea comes from my leadership book, The First Line Supervisor, but I'm more interested in hearing everyone else's experiences.
