I am starting at a regional jail as an RN next Monday and I am very excited. I have read so many of these posts. I remember seeing a book title in one of them that, I think, was about inmate behavior and manipulation. Now I can't find it. Can any one help? Any other good references would be appreciated also. Thanks a bunch!!

"Games Criminals Play: How You Can Profit by Knowing Them
by Bud Allen & Diana Bosta "

Sjoe recommended that book, and his recommendation is enough for me to encourage you to check it out.

Good luck to you in your new job! What background takes you into corrections if I may ask?

Games Inmates Play was an excellent tool during orientation.... it really helps to have an example to know what to look out for!

I love my position as a correctional nurse. Can't imagine working any where else. I mean, where else can you talk and act like a royal ***** and not get fired from it? I deliver top notch care to these guys, but when they disrespect me then I let them know in no uncertain terms that they have messed up!

G'luck everyone!
