Content: Proper use of non-lethal weapons is important in order to regain control of a hostile situation and minimize the risk of harm to all who are involved. Security procedures for the facility
Rules and procedures are at the core of prison operation. Everyone, including inmates, prison guards, other staff and visitors, has to follow their security procedures and rules. The prison guard has to know all the rules in the facility and who they apply to. That includes processing paperwork for intake and release, how to handle a lockdown, transportation of prisoners, ethics and more. Searches
Inmates have to undergo searches performed by prison guards at random. That includes personal and cell searches for contraband. It's important to understand how to properly handle an inmate during all types of searches to avoid impropriety and violation of the rights of the inmate. Cell searches require learning the many ways an inmate can conceal contraband and weapons inside the confines of their cell. While the issue of rights when it comes to an inmate's personal property isn't as stringent, there may still be a requirement to be careful of the prisoner's possessions.
