Predeployment Training Modules for Corrections Officers

Abstract

A corrections system that emphasizes the principles of safe, secure and humane containment of all people detained by the courts is a major factor in ensuring peace and security in a post-conflict environment. The strengthening of the national corrections system can play a significant role in facilitating the maintenance of law and order and improving public confidence in the justice system overall. A functioning corrections system is a key component of the security framework in any community and, as such, it contributes to public safety. The corrections system protects the community by providing for the humane and secure imprisonment of offenders, deterring potential offenders and rehabilitating criminals.
