Powers and responsibilities of correctional staff.JS3-2/1987-6E-PDF

"Recognizes the central role of staff in the achievement of both short-term security goals (prevention of escapes and maintaining order and safety in institutions) and the long-term goal of the re-integration of offenders into society. The normal day-to-day operations of an institution proceed on a consensual basis, but in certain circumstances staff may require powers to enable them to meet security needs. The introduction also recognizes the shared interest that staff and inmates have in a safe, secure environment and the close connection between staff powers and individual rights. It sets out the principles which should be relied upon in defining staff powers"--Executive summary, page iii.
