Evidence Informed Practices in the Management of Women's Prisons

NIC is accepting Technical Assistance applications for regional, onsite training, of the program Evidence Informed Practices in the Management of Women's Prison.

Correctional senior-level leaders, managing women’s prisons, face significant challenges regarding gender-informed facility operations, policy and procedure, and the development and implementation of evidence-based programs and services.  The 32-hour training agenda is designed with reliable and valid learning modules including medical, mental health, legal, communication styles and inappropriate sexual behavior to engage participants in the strategies for effective change. The training includes interactive material that helps clarify significant differences while avoiding an over-identification of issues that may be common to male and female populations.

The target audience, for the training are senior level leaders/managers from all Divisions, within women's institutions.

Interested agencies should apply through the NIC website, www.nicic.gov, under Technical Assistance, no later than February 1, 2027.

As part of the agency application review, a readiness protocol identifying the challenges and the goal of the training request may be requested.
