Prisons and jails are both classified as correctional facilities, however their missions and day-to-day operations can vary significantly. The types of offenders being held and the reasons they are incarcerated are notably different between a state or federal prison and a county jail.
In your initial response, compare and contrast the role of a correctional administrator at a prison vs. a jail. As part of your discussion, be sure to highlight the missions of both and how those missions impact the way day-to-day operations are managed by a correctional administrator.
You must respond to each individual question on the forum board. The required individual response is 350 words with citations and two references in APA format. Failure to respond with an individual response of 350 words of your original work to a particular question and/or citations and two references in APA format will result in the student NOT earning maximum credit for that response. While 350 words of your original work is the MINIMUM acceptable response length, there is no maximum word limit. So you are aware, the classroom software utilized by AMU, SAKAI, automatically provides faculty with the word count in each individual response.
