Be prepared to recognize threats from Spanish-speaking inmates. Incarcerated gang members often use their Spanish-speaking skills to undermine the efforts of corrections officers and other prison staff. As a result, it is crucial for corrections personnel to communicate and comprehend Spanish specific to the prison environment. Be in control when interacting with Spanish-speaking inmates.
