Abstract
This paper presents an exploratory study of instructional corrections policy in general and the nature of such within one state system in particular. Traditionally, correctional institutions have evolved along two lines of though - custody and treatment. However, the role of the correctional officer has formulated along only one line of though - custody. Due to the all encompassing nature of the correctional officer position, this imbalance prevents, and may even hamper, treatment potential within the institution.
