Corrections Community

Hi! I have just started as a behavioral clinician at a medium security prison (male) and am interested in learning about mental health in prisons. After working over 20 years with abused and neglected teenagers I am now working with a new population. I am finding that many of the inmates have similiar problems that the teenagers that I worked with had. I am also interested in any programming with violent offenders. We are wanting to see if we can do any programming with them. Any assistance you can give to this "newbie" would be appreciated.
