SUMMARY:R2 255O – Jail/Corrections Operations – Meridian
DESCRIPTION:April 29-30, 2026, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm\nCredit Hours: 16\nCourse Number: R2 255O\nDescription:\nCourse Objectives:\n\nJail Intake Screening: Where Jail Liability Starts: Jails face increasing challenges with arrestees smuggling deadly drugs, concealing substances, or entering with severe mental illness (or both). Intake officers, being the first point of contact, play a crucial role in accurate screening and documentation. A detailed intake screening and assessment tool, combined with officer observations, reduces liability, improves inmate safety, and can save lives. This block covers taking legal custody, intake screening, assessment, and classification for housing assignments.\nJail Classification: An objective classification system is essential to maintain jail safety and security. This section explores the history and evolution of classification, the components of a valid objective system, and why subjective systems are inadequate. It also addresses changing requirements for Restrictive Housing and emphasizes its use only as a last resort.\nSpecial Housing: Focuses on suicide prevention, mental health care, and detox management. High-risk inmates require ongoing assessments from intake through incarceration.\nRestrictive Housing of Jail Inmates: Explores various forms (lockdown, solitary confinement, administrative segregation, disciplinary segregation) and their risks when used long-term.\nDe-Escalation: Practical and empathetic communication techniques for managing difficult situations without force. Covers verbal strategies, tone, pacing, body language, posture, gestures, and active listening skills.\nInmate Manipulation: Identifies manipulation tactics used by inmates, how they select targets, and how officers can recognize and stop manipulation. Includes case studies and inmate testimonials.\nLeadership: Examines effective vs. ineffective leadership in corrections.\nStress Management Addresses the stress of working in law enforcement, focusing on self-awareness, work-life balance, and practical stress-reduction techniques. Includes a personal assessment exercise and demonstrations of methods to use when stress builds at work.\n\nInstructor: Lisa Farmer, LLRMI\nLocation:\nPOST Academy\n700 S.
