This interactive online course will teach you how to identify various types of inmate groups, subcultures, and power structures within correctional facilities while recognizing early warning signs of group conflicts. Additionally, you will learn to distinguish between formal classification systems and informal inmate hierarchies, implement appropriate de-escalation strategies, and evaluate how group dynamics influence individual behavior and facility security operations.
