Why do we research unit management in correctional facilities? The
research was necessitated by a fundamental need to change the way
in which South Africa deals with sentenced inmates. The country
boasts one of the highest international recidivism rates. Instead
of being a revolving door where shorter-term offenders circulate
through the correctional system, or a warehouse where serious
offenders are subjected to monotonous empty hours for a lifetime,
all correctional systems should actively and meaningfully address
recidivism. This means that correctional interventions must
contribute to inmate empowerment, resulting in a life without
crime. Unit management proves to be a management tool that can
facilitate such meaningful contribution. It has been implemented in
some international correctional systems but limited international
research, mainly from the USA, is available. With their research,
the authors uniquely integrate correctional management
fundamentals, law, organisational theory, and institutional
administrative procedures into one research project. The research
aims to lay a foundation for unit management implementation by
addressing philosophy, international norms, processes, design,
legal principles, risk management, human resources and correctional
case studies. These contents deliver evidence of original research
that stretches over more than a decade. Unit Management in
Correctional Facilities: Law and Administration challenges
executive management and the modern-day correctional practitioner
on the professional front in terms of accountability,
implementation of evidence based correctional best practices and
transformation of the correctional system to the ultimate benefit
of the offender and the broad society. It aims to equip
correctional practitioners, students, lecturers and other
academics.
