This week’s article (Click HERE) focuses on the shortage of corrections officers in the State of Texas (although this issue is one that is effecting all States as well as the US Federal Bureau of Prisons). Wisconsin is also dealing with this issue (see May 2018 article by clicking HERE). The WI article is interesting as it alludes to 4 prisons as being particularly hard to keep staffing (I’m assuming these are the maximum units).

Lots to address with this problem. What do you see as the main issue and what are your suggestions for improving the issue?
