Supervision (DOCCS), will present an inside account of the 2015 escape of two murderers from Clinton Correctional Facility — a maximum-security prison in northern New York. The real story is even more compelling than the news reports and the “Showtime” dramatization. The initial presentation will include an accurate description and chronology of events from planning to escape to capture and beyond, video of the actual route through the prison to the manhole taken hours after the escape, and the Governor’s coordination of law enforcement which lead to the capture of inmate David Sweat and the death of inmate Richard Matt. Learning Objectives: • Understand the ramifications of compromised security and civilian staff. • Describe the benefits of a coordinated law enforcement approach. • Identify security deficiencies which led to the escape.

risk and needs assessment to inform inmate classification to increase safety, save money, and reduce recidivism. Current classification systems use decision-making measures and procedures that capture historical events that cannot change over time providing little incentive for inmates to modify behavior. Further, high security settings tend to have higher rates of violence. When inmates earn their way to lower security settings where more rehabilitative programming is available, they exhibit fewer negative behaviors. This presentation will outline the key features of PBP, how to overcome common barriers, and examples from institutions where PBP has been successfully implemented. Learning Objectives: • Describe the key components of PBP, and how to overcome common barriers. • Identify the positive impacts associated with PBP, particularly those that have been implemented in other prisons. • Identify next steps for their organizations to implement PBP, including but not limited to implementation of dynamic risk needs assessments for classification purposes, transitioning higher security units to medium or low security units, shifting funds from security to rehabilitative programming as some expensive security expenses are no longer necessary, revising policies and procedures, and re-training staff.
