I believe it would be difficult for me to be effective with the Radicals inmate personality type due to their tendency towards disruption and violence. The Radical individual typically expresses extreme opinions or views on various topics which may lead to confrontations between themselves and other inmates or staff members alike. As such, it is important to manage any discussions involving Radical personalities carefully as they are likely not open minded nor willing to listen to opposing viewpoints without getting heated or aggressive about it. Furthermore, these individuals often employ extreme measures such as threats or verbal assaults in order express their discontentment which must also managed carefully so as not escalate matters further than necessary in order successfully deescalate conflicts before they become violent scenarios.

One strategy I could employ when working with a Radical inmate personality type that could potentially prove successful involves tailoring my approach to include “active listening” techniques so as better understand what this person is trying convey through their words or actions rather than automatically dismissing it as aggression right away (Schmalleger 2021). By incorporating active listening into my approach when interacting with Radicals, I am more likely achieve success given that understanding why someone holds certain beliefs – no matter how radical they might seem – opens up avenues of dialogue that otherwise wouldn’t exist if only relying on authoritarian punishment methods alone (Rammal & Nasser 2017). Doing so also allows me gain insight into possible underlying issues that may have caused them act out against authority figures thereby enabling me develop better institutions policies surrounding specific situations – ultimately leading smoother functioning operations within correctional facilities overall according Srivastava & Singh (2016).
