EP010 "The Importance of Peer Support in Corrections" with Joe Valetine
I recorded this episode a while back on my YouTube channel but thought I'd share it again here.
Professionals are a great resource for us in times of need, but a lot of people overlook the power, the importance of a well-trained peer support team. Tonight, I'll talk with my guy Joey V about why peer support is important and what makes a successful peer support team.

We delve into real-world stories, practical strategies, and the psychology behind empowering officers to take responsibility for their housing units.

EP005 "To Degree or Not To Degree" or "Life After Corrections" or with John Lawrie
In this episode of Inside American Jails, we sit down with Dr. John “Jay” Lawrie, a former correctional professional within the Connecticut Department of Correction who transitioned from a 20-year career behind prison walls to the forefront of academia.
Join us as we explore the experiences and insights of this esteemed guest, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that await individuals after their time in corrections.
Our guest, Dr. Jay Lawrie, brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. Having dedicated two decades of his life to the MacDougall/Walker Correctional Institution in Suffield, Connecticut, Jay witnessed the complexities of the criminal justice system firsthand. Having retired from the Department of Correction in 2013, he made a significant pivot to the realm of education.
Now serving as an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice and Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Ct., Dr. Lawrie's academic expertise is fueled by his extensive background in corrections. We'll explore how his unique perspective enriches the learning experience for his students and contributes to the broader understanding of the criminal justice system.
During the interview, Dr. Jay Lawrie will take us through the pivotal moments in his career that prompted him to pursue higher education after his retirement. We'll learn about the challenges he faced while transitioning from a prison environment to an academic one, and how his firsthand experience with inmates has shaped his approach to teaching and research.
Tune in as we discuss the critical importance of addressing rehabilitation and reintegration programs for correctional staff reentering society after their career in corrections is over.

Customer Reviews
Raw and REAL
Seriously…this podcast hits the nail on the head. The host is raw, real and direct. Somehow he seems to say all of the things I think but don’t know how to put into words. Corrections deserves a voice and here it is!
Hooray!!
Glad the podcast is up and going. I had binged the previously available content on Spotify and was hungry for more. Thanks Bill!!
Well done Bill!
Guys & Gals of corrections you will enjoy this podcast. I truly relate to nearly everything that’s covered here. Very helpful to face what used to be ignored and hidden away. This job does change you even when you don’t see how much. It took my wife pointing it out for me to see it. Thanks to Bill Young for putting out a quality product and keep your intro the same. All the top podcasters keep what people know them by. Thanks, Chris Hunt
