About this Event
Develop a better understanding of the Veteran Sequential Intercept Model (V-SIM) and the intervention strategies and resources available at intercepts 0-1 with this upcoming webinar.
Correctional senior level leaders face significant challenges regarding gender-informed facility operations, policy and procedure, and the development and implementation of evidence-based program and service needs of women. In the last ten years, the body of knowledge has also grown related to the profile of who the women are and what management strategies may need to be considered in an agency’s response to managing women offenders.
The 32-36 hour training is designed to assist senior managers and administrators of women's facilities in the operational management and correctional policy and practices that are impacted by gender differences. Participants will engage in learning activities that clarify gender differences while avoiding an over-identification of issues that may be common to male and female populations.
Operational concerns presented include: characteristics of women offenders, gender differences, institutional culture, staff training needs, inmates-staff conduct, cross-gender supervision, legal issues, and policy development: i.e. property, sick call, searches, visitation and classification.
NIC will select correctional state agencies to provide this program on site within their state with up to 30 participants
Interested agencies should contact Evelyn Bush, Corrections Program Specialist at e1bush@bop.gov
This content has been compiled to answer the biggest needs and highlight resources for Pretrial professionals and their agencies. This includes pretrial officers, risk assessment specialists, counselors and therapists, administrators and managers, and data analysts. Our goal is to provide a singular page that can be bookmarked and returned to whenever a pretrial specialist wants to fix, fortify, or evolve something in their program or agency.
Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance (2022)
The purpose of this document is to establish guidelines to be followed by officers and employees of the U.S. Department of Justice investigative, prosecutorial, correctional, and parole components in the treatment of victims of and witnesses to crime. Federal victims’ services and rights laws are the foundation for the AG Guidelines. The core statutes are the Victims’ Rights and Restitution Act (VRRA) and the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA); however, additional rights and requirements exist in other statutes and rules of criminal procedure.
Jails in Indian Country, 2021, and the Impact of COVID-19, July–December 2020 (2022)
A total of 2,180 inmates were held in 80 jails in Indian country at midyear 2021, an 8% increase from the 2,020 inmates held in 82 facilities at midyear 2020. The increase follows a 30% decline in the inmate population from midyear 2019 to midyear 2020. The midyear 2021 inmate population was 25% lower than the midyear 2019 population, when 2,890 inmates were confined in Indian country jails. This decline was attributed mainly to responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Impact of COVID-19 on State and Federal Prisons, March 2020–February 2021 (2022)
State and federal correctional facilities performed 4,816,400 viral tests for COVID-19 on persons in prison from the beginning of March 2020 to the end of February 2021. Of these tests, 396,300 (8.2%) were positive for COVID-19, representing 374,400 unique infected persons in state and federal prisons. The infection rate in prisons during this period was 219 per 1,000 state prisoners at risk of exposure to COVID-19 and 298 per 1,000 federal prisoners at risk of exposure.
We know more today about pretrial risk than at any other time in the history of bail reform and have the data to support new paradigms for managing individuals on pretrial release. That data show that most individuals on pretrial release are successful, meaning they appear for court as required (or miss court appearances unintentionally), have no new arrests, and receive no new case filings. However, conditions of pretrial release often are tied to an arrest charge or financial considerations and do not address the specific risk factors that individuals present. The pretrial field should consider a new paradigm for pretrial supervision — as well as how best to integrate services, support, and a redefinition of “pretrial risk”. This is all according to a series of three new pretrial publications from the National Institute of Corrections, developed through a cooperative agreement with the Justice Management Institute.
Together, these publications present a new paradigm for the pretrial field, one that is based on data and the goal of promoting supervision success, ensures public safety, and provides support for individuals on pretrial release.
Each of these publications is available now on the NIC website. For more information about NIC’s resources for the pretrial field, please Click Here
