THIS SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM PROVIDES INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE PROPER REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES IN ILLUSTRATED NARRATIVE FORM; FILL-IN AND SHORT ESSAY QUESTIONS ARE INCLUDED THROUGHOUT. ANSWERS ARE PROVIDED ON THE PAGES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. USERS SHOULD START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOKLET, WORK STRAIGHT THROUGH, WRITE ANSWERS AS DIRECTED, AND CHECK COMPLETED WORK. CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REINFORCING THOSE BEHAVIORS WHICH ARE MOST LIKELY TO LEAD TO THE INMATE'S REHABILITATION AND HIS SUCCESS IN THE FREE WORLD. WHEN IT IS DETERMINED WHICH INMATE BEHAVIORS ARE DESIRED, CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS MUST USE APPROPRIATE REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES. SOME TYPES OF BEHAVIORS WHICH ARE LIKELY TO LEAD TO SUCCESS OUTSIDE THE INSTITUTION, AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE REINFORCED, INCLUDE GOOD WORK HABITS, GOOD GROOMING, SOCIAL SKILLS, OBEYING THE RULES, AND INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY, SUCH AS EDUCATIONAL PURSUITS OR VOCATIONAL TRAINING. SUGGESTED REINFORCERS ARE TELEVISION, MOVIE, AND TELEPHONE PRIVILEGES, AND CIGARETTES. SINCERE PRAISE AND ATTENTION MAY ALSO WORK AS REINFORCERS. A REINFORCER MUST ONLY BE EARNED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF DESIRED BEHAVIOR AND SHOULD BE GIVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BEHAVIOR OCCURS. SKETCHES ILLUSTRATE THE TEXT. (LWM)
