The Prison Officer Podcast 56: Lead, Trust, and Care About Your Staff - Interview w/Arthur Fredericks
In this episode, I talk with Associate Warden Arthur Fredericks. We talk about his long career in Corrections spanning three decades. He has worked at eleven institutions in six states and for five different agencies. I connected with him on LinkedIn after reading several of his posts on leadership, training, and taking care of your staff. His posts really resonated with me and I wanted to hear more about his personal views on corrections, staff, and leadership.
He began his career as a jailer in Ft. Worth Texas, he then became a correctional officer with the State of Florida before hiring on with the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons. Associate Warden Fredericks assumed positions of greater responsibility throughout each of his moves and most recently served as the Associate Warden of Operations at Broad River CI. He is a graduate of NIC’s Leadership and Development for the Future graduate and recently completed the Warden Exchange program as a cohort.
