Countering Threats to Correctional Institution Security is a Corporação Rand report by Joe Russo, Dulani Woods, John S. Shaffer, and Brian A. Jackson.

The security of correctional institutions has long been threatened by various factors, such as violence, escape attempts, and contraband, which have persisted since the inception of these institutions. However, as society and technology evolve, new challenges have emerged, including computer hacking, synthetic drugs, cell phones, and drones. Many of these contemporary threats endanger institutional security and pose risks to public safety.

Recognizing the ongoing challenges confronting the corrections sector in addressing these diverse threats, researchers at RAND organized an expert workshop. The aim was to gain deeper insights into these challenges and identify the most critical needs for maintaining institutional security.

Regrettably, resource constraints and staffing limitations hinder correctional institutions’ ability to adapt to evolving threats and adjust their security and staffing strategies accordingly. Additionally, the persistent lack of empirical data impedes efforts to develop effective interventions to mitigate these threats.

To address these challenges, it is imperative to prioritize research needs and develop tools and resources, as highlighted by workshop participants. This approach offers a pathway to provide correctional institutions with the necessary support to confront security threats in the future effectively.
