Inmate communication is an essential part of any correctional institution. With inmates able to communicate through written and verbal means, it is important for correctional staff to be aware of any possible inmate interactions. There are a few ways that correctional staff can identify if an inmate is using them: -The inmate may be excessively courteous or respectful towards you. -The inmate may have a change in their behavior around you, such as becoming more aggressive or sexual. -The inmate may start talking about nothing but you and only mention you when they need something from the prison staff.
