Answer to Question 1

A proactive warden is committed to anticipating and preventing problems before they take place. He/she puts a greater emphasis on programming for inmates and staff development. He/she emphasizes the importance of direct communication and rapport between the warden and staff, the warden and inmates, and the staff and inmates.

Answer to Question 2

Establishment of Policy
Wardens determine policy for their particular institutions, although major policy changes must be cleared with the central office. One of the challenges of determining policy stems from the number of groups that must be satisfied: the legislature, the director of corrections, the various levels of institutional staff, the public, and the inmates.
Planning
The warden is expected to develop goals and methods for their achievement. Some top administrators look to modern management principles to be helpful tools in the goal-setting process. If no long-range plan exists, most wardens know they will become involved in crisis-centered management and will have to face the same problems day after day.
