In this episode we dive deep into a topic that lies at the heart of effective corrections: taking ownership and responsibility for your housing unit. 

Join me as I engage in a candid and insightful conversation with an industry veteran who has spent over two decades within the corridors of correctional facilities. Our guest, Jared Schechter, is not only an experienced professional but also a certified jail manager and certified correctional manager, with a track record of transformative leadership. 

In this episode, we explore the significance of ownership within the context of corrections. Jared Schechter, who has managed the largest jail in the State of Kansas, shares his wealth of expertise on why fostering a sense of ownership among correctional officers is paramount. We delve into real-world stories, practical strategies, and the psychology behind empowering officers to take responsibility for their housing units. 

Jared Schechter's journey, backed by his Master of Science degree in Administration of Justice from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Development, has equipped him with a profound understanding of the dynamics at play within the correctional system. As an adjunct professor at Wichita State University Tech, he imparts his knowledge in various areas of criminal justice, making him an authority on the subject. 

As a firm believer in the potential of corrections and jails to shape a more just society, Jared Schechter stands as a testament to the power of continuous learning and innovation. His involvement in esteemed associations such as the American Jail Association and the American Correctional Association reflects his commitment to driving positive change within the industry.
