“…Compared to involuntary turnover, voluntary turnover in the correctional field is a costly and disruptive problem given that prison facilities rely heavily on staff members in order to meet their objectives (Archameault & Fenwick, 1988). For example, recruitment, testing, selection, and training of new staff are expensive (Kiekbusch et al, 2003).…”

Although a review of literature related to turnover intent in the correctional workplace has focused primarily on prison officers, jailers have frequently been overlooked. Specifically, a comparison between jail and prison officers' perceptions in Taiwan is limited. In order to fill the gap, our study was based on three objectives: (1) surveying Taiwanese correctional officers who experienced the "get-tough-on-crime" policy during the early 2000s, (2) testing for differences in turnover intent between jail and prison officers, and (3) examining personal and workplace environmental factors in order to determine whether distinct turnover intent exists among prison and jail officers. A self--report survey administered to 799 Taiwanese correctional officers (with an adjusted response rate of 89%) demonstrated that jail and prison officers had moderately high levels of turnover intent with no significant difference. When turnover intent correlates were further examined, job dangerousness, organizational harmony, and commitment were significant predictors for both prison and jail officers, thus suggesting that environmental factors have the most robust impact. In terms of personal characteristics, tenure and position were significantly related to prison officers' turnover intent. Conversely, age represented the significant factor among jail respondents.

“…Archambeault and Fenwick (1988) explain that similarities exist between Japanese and American prisons in terms of the formal objectives such as custody and control, rehabilitation, respect for human dignity, deterrence and incapacitation. Implementation of these objectives, however, is significantly influenced by social and cultural values with the Japanese emphasizing group fairness and equality while American prisons place emphasis on the protection of individual rights.…”
