The book provided an expanded view of corrections that''s in sync with our philosophy and practices of training new Correctional Officers in the 21st Century. The introduction of this publication in the Recruit Training Program has reinforced a more collegial training environment that further complements our training model." -- William Dupre, Director of Staff Development, Massachusetts Department of Correction "Gary has dedicated his life to training correctional officers, and he has put his heart and soul into this book in order to help all in the field of corrections. He has instructed at our training academy for many years and our officers have benefited immensely from his training. With this book, all in the corrections field who work with inmates can benefit from Gary''s instruction and experience." -- Vince Ferrara, Executive Director Hampton Roads (VA) Criminal Justice Training Academy "What Cornelius has done is presented us with a very useful textbook. The new officer, the seasoned veteran, the pre-professional, the training instructor and the college instructor will all benefit from this straight forward work by one of corrections most honest and talented authors." -- Joe Bouchard, corrections.com "Mr. Cornelius has once again created a ''must have'' piece of correctional literature for both seasoned correctional staff and new officers alike. This book meticulously outlines in detail all aspects of the roles correctional staff play within the criminal justice system. The Correctional Officer is indeed an excellent literary resource for correctional management and line staff." -- Sgt. Charles F.
