to their buildings. This presentation will use real-world examples including project scopes, savings projections, cash flow analysis and post-installation performance data to demonstrate how these same improvements can be mirrored at other correctional facilities across the country.

D-4I The Virtuous Prison Model: How it Can Benefit Staff Well-Being and Strengthen the Correctional Workforce Room 204 Track: Reentry/Community Corrections The humanization model of corrections is becoming more accepted and promoted by correctional leadership. This workshop discusses what changes toward a humanization model, with human dignity as the focus, would be needed and why such changes would benefit staff well-being and help with valorization of the correctional workforce. The term “virtue” is viewed as more descriptive and useful rather than “humanization.” The concept of human dignity is included and expanded under the umbrella of virtue. A shift from custodial orientation to a human service one, as seen in humanization model, would have an impact on recruitment, job satisfaction, and the mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of the staff (mitigations of correctional fatigue). Learning Objectives: • Explain why the humanization model is growing in favor and what changes are being called for. • Describe the virtuous prison model (humanization) and how it fits with current custody and control practices. • Articulate specific emphases and ideology of this model and how those thoughts and attitudes have a positive impact on one’s self esteem, social and family relationships, job satisfaction and sense of meaning and purpose.
