The strategies

To support you to understand and implement the 24 techniques for transformative prison practice outlined in Leading Prison Landings: The Unlocked Guide to Jailcraft, we have created a series of additional resources, including videos and training slides.

A suite of video models, featuring experienced prison officers demonstrating the techniques, with actors playing the role of prisoners can be found at the links below. They were largely filmed in real custodial settings in order to make them as realistic as possible, but all prisons will look different, so we ask you to consider how they might be applied to your own work environment.

They should support you to build a mental model of the key strategies for effective relational practice on the landings, and we hope they will help you to build these skills into your work in your prisons.

You may also wish to use our new accompanying handbook, Leading Prison Landings: A Pocket Guide (and accompanying Poster). This easy-to-use resource adapts the full training manual, containing short summaries for each of the strategies alongside memorable visuals to support their implementation.

Are you a trainer or coach?

This microsite contains a range of resources to support prison officers to take their professional development into their own hands. These training materials may also be useful if you are responsible for staff development in your prison.

Alongside the videos, the links below also contain training slides for each of the strategies, enabling you to create engaging sessions that will support frontline staff to master the techniques required for transformative practice.
