Crime Scene Processing in Correctional Facilities and Prisons addresses the unique challenges in prison, correction, and detention facilities, outlining specific procedures and techniques that will reliably improve any investigation. Issues of contaminated crime scenes can result from guards trying to regain order, few to no dedicated staff with no training or understanding of crime scenes, a lack of cooperation from witnesses and victims, and even the lack of cooperation from the on-scene incident commander – whose main objective may be to return the facility to “normal” rather than allow for the proper collection of evidence. Whatever the challenges faced, this book tackles all of them. While the processing of crime scenes entails standard procedures and practices, a correctional setting can provide anything but. As a result, the investigator must be resourceful, tenacious – yet patient – and perform their duties with objectivity and ethical integrity throughout the process.
