Changing the Dynamic

Changing the Dynamic follows the journey of the first-ever delegation of correctional staff union members and labor leaders as they head to Norway to learn more about its world-renowned correctional system — with the goal that these correctional professionals will be inspired to return committed to helping fellow staff change the culture and practice of corrections to make everyone safer and more secure. Is that possible given the difference in cultures, in diversity, in funding priorities and the public’s perception of corrections in the U.S and Norway?

Barriers to Bridges

Corrections officers and formerly incarcerated individuals—two groups often pitted against one another in an “us vs. them” dynamic—come together to address challenges within the prison system. Their journey demonstrates how shared purpose, curiosity, and relationship-building can help people find common ground and transform division into collaboration.

The Secret is Out

For far too long, the culture for those working in corrections has been… you just don’t talk about it. Until now. One Voice United assembled the first-ever Blue Ribbon Commission on correctional staff wellness. In front of a diverse and distinguished group of Commissioners, officers and staff shed light on a crisis that has largely gone unnoticed outside the four walls. The secret is out. The silence is broken. It’s time to act… together.
