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. Book 3 deals with planning, implementing, and evaluating correctional programs. The process explained in some detail includes these steps: (1) analyzing the needs of the population, involving studying general and specific population data; (2) defining objectives, involving deciding what behavior is to be brought about or changed in the prisoner participants; (3) selecting a program, involving designing a new program or adapting one from a model to fit needs of a particular jail; (4) implementing the program, involving using existing community resources and professional or nonprofessional volunteers and specialists; and (5) evaluating the results, involving deciding what is working, what is not working, and deciding how the program can be improved.
