A common misconception is that we are responsible for punishing offenders when offenders have already been judged and delivered a sentence by the Canadian justice system.   Our role is to rehabilitate offenders so they can be reintegrated back into communities and become productive, contributing members of society.   That’s why our name is Correctional Service Canada, with a focus on correctional approaches and protecting Canadians.   Learn more about the federal correctional process: https://lnkd.in/gtJpzk9E Follow us across social media this fall as we go “back to basics,” learning about the CSC essentials and why these things are important to know. #BackToBasics

Can leadership failures create a breeding ground for misconduct in correctional facilities? In this episode of the Prison Officer Podcast, we confront this critical question head-on. Through the lens of Stanley Milgram's famous 1963 obedience study, we unravel the often unseen dynamics of authority in corrections, exploring when and how the duty to intervene should override blind obedience. Recent cases of systemic leadership breakdowns are scrutinized, revealing how these lapses can foster environments where illegal and immoral actions flourish. I discuss the emotional rollercoaster faced by both staff and inmates during crises and why intervention is as crucial as physical action in preventing escalation.
