In this course, you’ve read articles and watched videos to develop your knowledge about key aspects and challenges in the corrections system. You’ve also studied how institutionalization impacts individuals by interacting with Walk In My Shoes: Navigating Corrections as an Officer and Incarcerated Person. Now it’s time to present the fresh perspectives you’ve gained on correctional facilities’ operations and conditions through your experiences navigating the corrections system as both an officer and an incarcerated individual.

  2. Choose the format for your final presentation.
  3. Create a slide deck and submit it as a .pdf. If you choose this option remember to include everything you want to say in your slides. Find ways to highlight your individual perspective.
  4. Download the presentation slide template linked below
  5. Create a final presentation that addresses the following areas. See attached presentation template for more detail. The design of the template is not a requirement. The slide content is required, but you are welcome to be creative with the graphics, colors, or other elements of the design.
