"Why do we research unit management in correctional facilities? The research was necessitated by a fundamental need to change the way in which South Africa deals with sentenced inmates. The country boasts on of the highest international recidivism rates. Instead of being a revolving door where the shorter-term offenders circulate through the correctional system, or a warehouse where serious offenders are subjected to monotonous empty hours for a lifetime, all correctional systems should actively and meaningfully address recidivism. This means that correctional intervention must contribute to inmate empowerment, resulting in a life without crime."
Summary: Philosophy of unit management -- The normative horizon: some international legal principles -- Architecture and structuring - Case management -- Direct supervision in correctional environments - Risk management : correctional facility phenomena -- Risk and needs responsiveness: inmates with special needs -- Case management in female correctional facilities -- Unit and case management in a youth correctional facility : a South African case study -- Security management in correctional facilities -- Human rights and unit management - Human rights of inmates in the context of incarceration -- Legal liability based on negligent conduct or negligence -- Legal valid decision-making in unit management.
