SUMMARY
Frequently, unfounded rumors circulate among the prisoners in confinement correction facilities.
These rumors can easily be ended by keeping the prisoners properly informed. As has been
repeatedly stressed, the mission of a confinement or corrections facility staff is to work with an
individual prisoner so he will be a productive individual upon his return to either a military or a
civilian environment. Throughout his confinement, he must be constantly motivated towards this
goal. By having a working knowledge of the legal questions frequently asked by a prisoner, the
internment resettlement specialist will be able to guide him on the proper course.
