Reflections on training staff on professional boundaries in a prison setting

The relationships between prison staff and people in prison are interesting in their formation and nature. Literature has examined different elements of these including when they become corrupted. Corruption in prisons impacts on the safety and security of staff and people in prison. This reflective piece discusses a collaborative project between a Forensic Psychological Service and prison Security Department to upskill staff around the psychological processes involved in corruption including the methods used and an evaluation of the project.
