In June 1966, representatives of the 95 member organizations of the Joint Commission on Correctional Manpower and Training met in Washington to plan their work for the next three years. Speeches were given on commitment to the rehabilitation of criminal offenders, how this rehabilitation can be achieved, and the shortage of manpower in the correctional field. Most sessions of the meeting were devoted to meetings of advisory committees. Aspects of correctional manpower and training studied by these nine task forces were: prospects and perspectives in corrections; manpower in the correctional process from specialized fields, such as psychiatry, law, and recreation; manpower in the emerging profession of the correctional generalist; administrative, research, and management personnel; utilization of volunteers and other special personnel; manpower in correctional institutions; manpower in community-based programs; inservice training, recruitment, and retention of personnel; and community, state, interstate, and national action.
