Abstract
Recruitment and retention policies of correctional agencies must be viewed in terms broad enough to encompass a wide variety of social circumstances which ultimately bear upon such policies, though they are not immediately within the control of correction. This paper suggests a few of the underlying issues involved in the recruitment and retention of correctional per sonnel, provides some brief background information concerning methods used by correctional agencies to recruit and retain work ers, presents attitudes expressed among such agencies toward personnel matters, and indicates, on the basis of a short explora tory study, some personnel issues which have been determined through a concurrent canvass of correctional workers now in the field and those who have left correction for other positions.
