The course is for independent study by jail officers who must learn that, in addition to their routine tasks, they must be prepared to be well-trained, responsible professionals, making important decisions and avoiding the mistakes and disproven beliefs of the past. The jail administrator must continually wrestle with the problems of conflicting priorities, limited funds, deficient facilities, and a limited, often ill-trained jail staff; he must find ways to develop his jail as a progressive institution sensitive to the community's needs. The section in Book 2 on budget preparation contains discussions of three types of budgets: line-item, performance, and program. Merits and limitations of each are presented, with examples of each type of budget and written review questions. A second section deals in detail with staffing and manpower analysis, a systematic technique for calculating manpower requirements. Sample problems are presented with direct assistance in reaching the solution. The final section on personnel management deals with recruitment and selection of personnel, evaluating and selecting applicants, probationary period, development of job satisfaction, and staff training. Questions regarding the reader's training program are included. (SC)
