The use of force to subdue or control incarcerated individuals (sometimes referred to as “response to subject behavior) carries a significant risk of resulting in administrative, civil, and possibly criminal proceedings against officers, staff, and leaders. The United States Supreme Court has provided clear direction to corrections officials outlining the factors which will be used in reviewing the use of force. That direction can be operationalized to enhance staff members’ understanding of these factors and ensuring that these factors are reflected in the agency’s legal-based policies and procedures, training, and reporting writing. This workshop will explore the legal implications of using force in a jail, the importance of de-escalation and the legal duty to intervene, and the importance of effective training and report-writing.
