    During National Correctional Workers’ Week, the Bureau of Prisons pays tribute to our fallen Correctional Officers, who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Every day, we put the safety of the American people above our own, as we all walk through the doors, gates, grills and sally ports. We chose to jeopardize our lives and the lives of our families to complete the Bureau of Prisons mission, to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. We knowingly put ourselves in harm’s way to protect and keep our communities more safe and secure.…

    Black and Decker has had many products over the years since its first drill and this product is like an addition to the line of drills they already have.

Sarah Windham, a member of Black and Decker’s media team stated, “this innovation transformed a stationary tool into a portable one and set the cornerstone for today's power tool industry (Windham 3).” From just that first invention the drill has evolved to where it’s at today.…

    Consequences for Correctional Staff Not only do prison gangs demand more resources, but also create problems for correctional staff. According to Roberts (2014) gangs have become a tremendous threat, because “their existence inevitably brings more violence to inmates and to staff and they engage in a whole range of criminal activity” (p.113). In a “prison gang survey” correctional staff were asked; “Do you believe that the gang members have significantly affected your correctional environment?” (Knox, 2004p.1). Altogether, “the results showed that 63.6 percent responded “yes” to this survey question” (Knox, 2004, p.1).…

    Over the last 1.5 years, the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) has undergone significant change.

    A school board is a very important part of the school district. The member of the school board can be elected or appointed and they have many keys jobs that make them so important. Some of these jobs include making sure each child has the best education possible, think about the community’s viewpoint, and keeping the budget as close to the given amount as they can. When I first learned we had to attend a school board meeting as one of the assignments for this class, I wasn’t too thrilled, just because many meetings go over the same thing and it would be a bit of a hassle to go there. At this point, before going to the meeting, I was still in the point of view when I was in high school, but I soon realized that as a future teacher I should care…

    My general opinion about life of employee in the Marriott international Marriott International is considered to be a company that is loved by employees. One might think that it’s all because of special programs and benefits company suggest to its employees, but it’s not only about that. According to the survey most employees state that benefits presented by Marriott are not that beneficial as they might seem from the first sight. For example, paid days off are earned by amount of working hours and depend on how long you have been working in a hotel and if you are full position or not. Some employees claim that you can’t really earn paid day offs unless occupying full position.…
