I am a second year MBA student. Four of my teammates and I are currently doing a student consultant project for a client who is looking into entering the commissary sector. In addition, we are seeking any opportunity that can help facility administrators to better manage and operate the facilities. At the research stage, we are trying to understand inmate and warden&amp;#39;s need and wants to help us better understand the key problem inside the correction facilities. We are very interested in interviewing wardens, correctional facility guards, and administrators. I was wondering if any of you are willing to have a short conversation with us to help us gain more insights and ideas for our project? We are in the Philadelpia area, we can meet in person or phone conference if you are from outside of Philadelphia.

I am tasked with defending the need for training within the Department of Corrections. As we all know, training is often the first place to make cuts when the budget gets tight. I am trying to write a report with both qualitive and quantative research on why training is needed by the department. It is easier to defend training when you show dollar signs, but how do we defend training in other ways? Any help or resources would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
