This report describes a plan for a statewide in-service training program for probation, parole, and correctional personnel in Georgia, which combines efforts of academic institutions and correctional agencies.
Abstract
It is the result of a 6-month evaluation of the personnel training needs of the Georgia State Departments of Probation, Parole, and Corrections. It consists of a demographic study of personnel from all three departments, a review of correctional training literature, communications between project and departmental administrators, identification of State educational and training resources, and preparation of a systematic educational plan. Recommendations regarding correctional training are suggested for each component. The objectives of the program and each phase of the plan are described, including such aspects as development of materials and methods of instruction, direct training, self-improvement, and evaluation and joint planning. An examination of the personnel required for implementation of the plan is also included. Tables, organzational charts, and footnotes are provided.
