Brad Hompe - Balancing Act

In most professions, when a job has to be done, there is one primary boss that is at the top of the pyramid and there may be many below that. When one does have multiple pinnacles at the top, it can be quite the balancing act to maintain the priorities of both parties. Especially when they are of equal value. In the case of the prison and jail sector, there are two pinnacles.

The first is that of the private sector owners. Most jails and prisons are privately owned which means whenever anything happens that affects any numbers, whether that be population or finance, they all have to be reported to the owner of the facility. The second pinnacle is that of the government. Obviously, if someone is sent to jail, there is a judicial system that put them there and because of that there are a plethora of government regulations that must also be met.

Brad Hompe works in the jail and prison sector and has a great deal of experience working on projects within the system and he himself has acted as a representative of the owner. Because he has also worked directly for the prison sector, he is able to understand both sides of the arguments and therefore navigate more smoothly the conflicts that can arise. Brad Hompe’s ability to balance is what makes him an asset whether representing the owner or working directly for the prison or jail.
