The seven critical dimensions of new generation jail officer behavior: (1) proactive leadership and conflict resolution skills; (2) building a respectful relationship with inmates; (3) uniform, and predictable, enforcement of all rules; (4) active observation of all inmate doings and occurrences in the living unit; (5) attending to inmate requests with respect and dignity; (6) disciplining inmates in a fair and consistent manner; and (7) being organized and in the open with the supervisory style. Whether officers in podular direct supervision jails are always adequately selected and trained to fit these dimensions of their role is as yet an open research question.
