You Be the Judge: An Experiential Exercise in Identifying Inappropriate Staff/Inmate Interaction, 20P3205

Date and Time: July 29, 2020  10am PT / 11am MT /12pm CT / 1pm ET

Webinar Summary :

you be the judgeHave you ever had a personal problem that you unintentionally brought to work? In a correctional environment, doing so can expose you to being vulnerable to inmates looking to compromise situations to their advantage. With less attention paid to the job, the blurring of lines between staff and inmate may occur.

Join this lively, interactive session, as we watch videos simulating “days in the life” of a corrections officer experiencing overwhelming personal issues that could lead to harmful and inappropriate acts, up to and including sexual misconduct. During the video scenarios, you will help identify red flags for potentially being compromised as the virtual instructor helps facilitate discussion around how to address these types of issues should they arise for yourself or colleagues in the corrections setting.

Who Should Attend?

Any employee of a state, federal or local correctional jurisdiction, routinely involved in direct interaction with inmates as part of their title or function.

How Do I Participate Effectively In a WebEx Event Center Webinar? How Do I Get Ready?

webinar attendeeFor the best experience in your next NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you’ll need a hands-free telephone, headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer. For optimum learning, be in a quiet place, free from distractions/interruptions, sight-and-sound separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during the webinar. A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting. Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using earbuds/headset connected to your phone/cell phone, so your hands are free to interact with your keyboard.

While tablets and smartphones are also compatible with WebEx Events Center, several of the features are limited, and most devices require that the Cisco WebEx app is installed. Regardless of which device you plan to use, test its compatibility here. This is a quick test, and we strongly encourage you to do this before the webinar. If your browser does not pass the test, contact Webex Technical Support at 1-877-669-1782 and tell them you will be attending an NIC webinar on NIC’s Webex site at http://nicmeetings.webex.com . They can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues.

NIC strongly recommends consulting with your agency/local IT , as you may encounter pop-up blocking and/or firewall issues that block the NIC Webex webinar url.
