This episode explores the why behind inmate behavior, providing a deeper understanding of the factors at play and practical strategies to manage conflicts effectively. Our goal is to help foster a safer, more empathetic environment—not just for inmates but for staff as well.

We’ll discuss how behavior in correctional facilities is influenced by a variety of factors, including institutional rules, daily schedules, and underlying psychological and social dynamics. Beyond surface-level causes, we’ll explore how trauma, mental health, and interpersonal relationships can shape an inmate’s actions.
