    Unit and case management are approaches to managing offenders and prisons. Unit management divides larger prisons into smaller, more manageable units to improve control and service delivery. Case management encourages offender participation in rehabilitation, builds relationships between offenders and officials, and helps create a safer environment. The advantages of these approaches include improved control and supervision, positive staff-offender relationships, coordinated services, and prevention of problems before escalation. Basic principles of these approaches include early risk identification, clear roles and responsibilities, and continuous improvement.
