Women in the Criminal Justice System: Developing an Agency-Wide Approach leads participant teams through strategic planning to develop an agency plan that provides coordination and direction to manage incarcerated women effectively. The plan will guide the development of agency policies and procedures to ensure that responsive and effective services are provided to meet the supervision and programming needs of justice-involved women. The curriculum is designed to assist agencies in implementing planned change.
The program is designed for staff with policymaking and decision-making authority in areas such as oversight of Women's corrections institutions, community corrections programs, leadership roles in critical areas such as medical/mental health, classification, risk and need-reducing programs, and re-entry.
