Title: Correctional Officers: Strategies to Improve Retention. 2nd ed.
Summary: Correctional officer turnover is high, and the cost of replacing these critical employees is growing. In addition, prison populations are increasing, contributing to the problems associated with retention of prison staff. This report explores issues impacting correctional agencies and companies, such as changing workforce demands, a dynamic labor market, predictors of turnover, and various reasons for why correctional officers leave their position. Research presented in this study suggests strategies in a number of focus areas (e.g., applicant screening, new employee orientation, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, supervisory relations, work environment, training and development, and salary and benefits) to improve retention of correctional officers.
