EACH TREATMENT TEAM CONSISTS OF AN INMATE, HIS CASEWORKER, HIS PAROLE OFFICER, HIS IMMEDIATE WORK SUPERVISOR, AND THE SUPERVISOR OR COUNSELOR ASSIGNED TO HIS HOUSING UNIT. THE TEAM FORMULATES AND IMPLEMENTS A PERSONALIZED PLAN FOR THE INMATE. DECISIONS AFFECTING THE INMATE (WORK AND CELL ASSIGNMENT, DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS, FURLOUGH REQUESTS, MERIT TIME CONSIDERATIONS, ETC.) ARE MADE BY THE TEAM ON THE BASIS OF THE PLAN. SURVEY DATA INDICATE THAT THE TEAM APPROACH, PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED, IS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH FAVORABLE STAFF ATTITUDES TOWARD INMATES, TOWARD WORK ASSIGNMENTS, AND TOWARD OTHER STAFF MEMBERS, AND WITH POSITIVE INMATE ATTITUDES TOWARD STAFF AND TOWARD LIVING AND PROGRAM ASSIGNMENTS. THE TEAM APPROACH IS NEGATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH PUNITIVE ATTITUDES AND ROLE CONFLICT AMONG STAFF MEMBERS AND WITH ALIENATION AMONG INMATES. IMPLICATIONS OF THE SURVEY FINDINGS ARE DISCUSSED. SUPPORTING DATA ARE INCLUDED.
