Apart from those incarcerated, corrections officers and other frontline staff spend more time in the prison system than anyone else.
Yet, too often, their unique knowledge and understanding of prison operations and life are overlooked by policy writers, decision makers and reformists.
If our country intends to get serious about innovative criminal justice reform, it is essential that the true costs of maintaining a well-run facility are understood from all perspectives and corrections officers and other frontline staff are given a seat at the table.
Through policy, advocacy and reform, One Voice United will create opportunities for corrections officers and other frontline staff to raise issues of importance, discuss alternative approaches to corrections and lend their voice and expertise to the criminal justice discussion.
