On this episode of Federal Prison Authority Presents: Around the Block, Bruce and Susan open the episode on a slightly different note. They explore the topic of client self-efficacy, which is a form of client empowerment. There are numerous people involved and countless moving parts in the Federal Prison System, and Bruce and Susan explore how keeping the client educated and empowered is essential. However, they do examine the limitations of what clients can and can’t do within the system. Susan shares a story of a client who was able to speed up the process by educating themselves and not relying solely on others. After exploring what a client can do, Susan shifts to discussing what impacts eligibility and pursuing remedies towards the end of the program.
