Jails Resources

At the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), we're committed to supporting those who work in jails with the latest resources and information. That's why we've created a page dedicated to Jails professionals, designed to provide you with insightful information and support you need to excel in your role.

This page is a comprehensive resource hub, filled with research articles, best practices, and training materials to help you tackle the unique challenges of working in a jail environment. We understand that your role can be tough, so we've put together a wide range of resources to help you address issues like managing inmates with mental and behavioral health issues, developing effective staff training programs, and conducting security audits.

In addition to our wealth of resources, we also offer a range of training opportunities specifically for jail professionals. Our training programs are developed with leading experts in the field and are designed to help you stay up-to-date on the latest trends, best practices, and research in the corrections field.

At NIC, we're committed to providing jail professionals with the support and resources they need to succeed. We encourage you to explore the resources below, take advantage of our training, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you excel in your role. We're always here to help and support you!
