In the current chapter, I provide insights into the socialization experience during the Correctional Training Program use Van Maanen and Schein (Toward a theory of organized socialization. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Sloan School of Management, Working Papers, 1, 1977) theory of organizational socialization. I shed light on my experience of the socialization process inherent to the structure of the training academy while noting the key elements of informal socialization recruits experience. I speak to how socialization begins before ever arriving at the academy, during the initial stages of the program—where testing pressures and module context quickly start to reinforce organizational commitment and ways of acting. I then turn to experiences at the academy, where I found the emphasis continues to focus on organizational commitment but highlights a seemingly contradictory message: the academy atmosphere and lessons encourage collective solidary and comradery among recruits but also reminding recruits to remain self-focused, enforcing recruits are accountable for their actions or role in the acts of others. I provide examples of being investigated regarding others’ behaviours and show the value placed on integrity and honesty as well as abiding by the organizational norms and rules—which must be geared toward legal, social, physical, and psychological safety being preserved among employees.
