Since that time, the workbook has become a cornerstone of NIC’s training and technical assistance activities related to jail staffing.  \nMany legitimate methods can be used to conduct a jail staffing analysis. The first edition of this workbook presented a new methodology in an attempt to allow both the expert and the novice equal opportunities for success. It encouraged more jails to implement comprehensive staffing analyses, which have now become standard practice in many jurisdictions. This workbook simplifies the jail staffing analysis and allocation process, clarifies terms, and incorporates the experience of the field in the 12 years since the first edition was published.  \nWhile the procedures may initially seem complicated, experience has proven that the process is effective and rewarding. Jail managers have also discovered many secondary benefits from this process.  \nNIC will continue to address jail staffing issues through training offered by the NIC Jails and Academy Divisions and through technical assistance. We hope this “how to” workbook will assist others who wish to independently pursue improvements in their jail staffing practices. We invite all jail practitioners involved in this work to contact the NIC Jails Division for additional assistance if needed.  \nMorris L. Thigpen, Director National Institute of Corrections  \n. . . . . . . . . . . . . .  iii  \nPreface  \nJail staffing challenges administrators, staff, and policymakers and poses a variety of serious problems. Staffing a jail is expensive. In many jails, staff costs can make up 70 percent to 80 percent of the annual budget. Such a costly resource must be carefully managed, and assessing staff needs and allocating staff in a jail setting are complex tasks. This workbook attempts to simplify the process wherever possible.  \nThe publication was developed to help improve jail operations by improving jail staffing practices. It identifies a series of steps that build on one another to produce a comprehensive and innovative staffing plan. Users will find the workbook helpful in the following situations:  \n■ Creating an initial staffing plan for a new facility or conducting a comprehensive staffing analysis for the first time.  \n■ Reviewing and evaluating an existing staffing plan.  \n■ Revising an existing plan in response to changes atthe facility or in policy","cbCaik0EADeb7NB3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik0EADeb7NB3","pdf",561151,48,"English","# Foreword\n# Preface\n## Purpose and target users\n## Why staffing analysis matters\n## Hourly-based quantification approach\n## Overview of staffing analysis steps\n### 1.
