A. What are the departments or subdivisions into which your
selected organization is divided, and how do these subdivisions
work together as a whole in relation to the mission of the
organization?
Office of Programs and Re-entry is an organization that focuses
on leadership alongside rehabilitative programs ensuring better
lives within the community. The organization is divided into
four central departments that work together to achieve a
common goal. The first department is the Bureau of program
development which focuses on the various designs and
implementation of risks and needs assessment tools. It also
implements other processes and policies key to the restoration
alongside rehabilitation of justice to the affected individual
within the surrounding.
The second is the department Bureau of Education, which deals
with academic and career issues, including technical education
and library services (Bell et al., 2018). The third department is
the Bureau of Substance Use Treatment which is helpful in
2. dealing with services assisting in the transition period between
incarceration and the return to society. The other department is
the Bureau of Chaplaincy services dealing with spiritual matters
on inmates and offenders. The last department is volunteering
with the FDC to assist in a rewarding experience for the
citizens. All the departments work together to achieve the
organizational goal and mission in leadership and rehabilitation
programs that assist the community. Every department has strict
policies that make it possible to ensure that it helps the
organization achieve its mission.
B. Describe your selected subdivision, and outline the specific
goals and responsibilities of the subdivision, describing how
they align with the overall mission of the agency. Consider how
the goals of the selected subdivision align with the mission of
the agency.
The correction officers have a specific function: protecting the
community by leading and supervising offenders and reporting
the individual who has failed to comply with the regulations to
sentencing. Alongside the organizational mission, the correction
subdivision has its designed mission. Its mission is to deliver
effective service to the community by service diligently while
collaborating with other agencies of the criminal justice
community (Bell et al., 2018). As such, it serves the community
without violating their rights. The detention department ensures
people's safety within the community by protecting the
surrounding society in various ways, such as establishing safe,
secure, and human supervision. It also provides the confinement
of inmates by making them follow the law without violation.
However, the subdivision is faced with challenges like the
overpopulation of inmates. The inmates are flocked within the
organization, thus posing a challenge of how to deal with them
(Karthaus, Block & Hu, 2019). Inmates have different
characters; hence, when populated in a given place, they create
problems within the organization's premise. The other challenge
is budget constraints due to the increase in the population of
3. inmates. When the number grows high, the management faces
the challenge of ensuring they are fed. The last challenge is
high attrition rates within the department. Such factors have
resulted in outdated officer equipment, among other issues.
C. Describe the key policies in place that run your selected
subdivision of the organization, explaining how these policies
align with the mission of the subdivision.
The department has adopted policies to ensure that every
activity is carried out without employee interference. The first
policy is adequate training for the employees within the
subdivision. The employees are trained to ensure they handle
the inmates and other offenders strictly following the rule of
law. The other policy is treating inmates as other human beings
to avoid intimidation. They should be corrected peacefully to
help build a better community—finally, leadership with
integrity and perfect deliverance to the community based on the
provided services. The policies align with the organization's
mission since they all focus on changing the community by
providing better services. The rehabilitation programs must be
accomplished according to the dictates of the organization.

1-2 Journal: Case Study Selection
It’s fundamental for the intimates to have a better and more
conducive environment in custody. Here in the office of the
program and re-entry ensures that it upholds and is well
committed to adhering to stipulated leadership and
rehabilitative program. The idea is aimed to instigate and
support the practical improvement of the intimates who live in
custody. The department ensures that it instigates evidence-
driven strategies which ensure the providence of enough
security and anticipated basic safety in custody. Concurrently,
the re-entry subdivision ensures the provision of the
programming, which heightens productive learning and
increases the chances of transforming the behaviors through
teaching the pro-social skills essential for better integration into
communities. Notably, some of the practical sections in the
program and re-entry support include the Bureau of program
development, which is designed to induce the policies
instrumental in rehabilitation and restoration. The section
provides coaching and fidelity monitoring and enables better
monitoring. Additionally, the bureau of education enables the
administration to induce education career and technical
knowledge, which help the intimates to have better cognitive
programming behaviors. Concurrently, the section of the Bureau
of substances use and treatment enables the intimates to
implicate positive transition during incarceration and returning
to the community. On the other hand, the Bureau of chaplaincy
services in the correctional department ensures that it induces
compelling spiritual needs and requirements in the intimates
and the offenders. The situation enables the intimates to be
deduced to the individual religious belief and practices, which
can be helpful in their spiritual growth even after the correction
5. period. Volunteering in the correction services is the most
rewarding experience, and it fosters security and safety of the
correction facilities for both the intimates and the offender in
programming.

Overview: Assessment is an integral part of maximizing an
organization’s performance. The assessment portion of a
strategicplan determines whether or not
the goals of the criminal justice department are being met.
Assessment affects decisions about policies, standard operating
procedures, training curriculum, and,
budget.
Prompt: Submit a draft of the first three elements of the
Assessment Plan section (Section III) of your final project.
Keep in mind the importance of unbiased
data collection while considering your assessment plan. Be sure
to address all of the critical elements as outlined below.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
III. Assessment Plan: In this section, you will develop a plan to
gather valid and reliable data in your performance assessment,
and outlinespecific
assessment strategies and sources of information.
A. Determine the organizational assessment strategy that would
be most appropriate to use in your assessment of the selected
subdivision of the
organization. Justify your selection. For example, you might

systems model, to
assess compliance and effectiveness of the subdivision with the
mission.
8. B. Justify how your previously selected organizational
assessment strategy will ensure you collect valid and reliable
