## What the grant funds

The role of the deputy warden in a correctional facility is integral to its efficient operation and management. As the second in command to the warden, the deputy warden is delegated full authority and responsibility for carrying out directives of the federal and state courts and the attorney general. The deputy warden is responsible for ensuring operational continuity, enhancing leadership and management, ensuring the safety and security of both staff and those persons in custody and enforcing policies and procedures to uphold compliance and accountability within the facility. In essence, the deputy warden serves as the anchor in upholding the agency’s mission, fostering a safe and secure environment for all stakeholders and contributing to the successful rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals within the criminal justice system. Effective leadership, strong decision-making skills, dedication to justice, and accountability are essential in developing the leadership of deputy wardens to ensure that correctional facilities operate effectively. The VILT and e-course will be a valuable resource for deputy wardens, offering guidance on new and ongoing challenges relative to the field of corrections. The VILT and e-course will incorporate modern aesthetics and technology, including situational narratives, video clips, and engaging activities to provide relevant content on the emerging issues and persistent correctional challenges that an incoming deputy warden/second in command will encounter.
