It is imperative you understand your role as a volunteer. Your role is different than the role of staff. Remember you are a guest on the unit.
Maintain a professional relationship with offenders and don’t reveal confidential information to unauthorized persons.
Don’t get overly involved or over identify with an offender. Don’t fall in love with an offender. You endanger yourself and counter the rehabilitative work of TDCJ when you start taking the offender’s side against staff.
Don’t give legal advice. This should be obvious if you are not a lawyer and is unprofessional if you are.
Follow instructions and don’t argue with staff. You can always ask questions later.
