Overview: The article describes that human resource management in a prison is all about the human resources here. And in a weird sort of way, the prison environment provides a great lesson on how HR should work in any organization. Treat people well, they won't cause problems. Give them a nice environment, they won't act up. Develop their skills, they'll become more valuable citizens. HR challenges include Overcoming the dark prison stereotype when recruiting new employees, Staffing nurses and other specialists who can make more money outside of the state system, Encouraging employee initiative and creativity in a system that still uses a quasi-military hierarchy, Working within the state's rigid personnel regulations.
