13th National Workshop on Adult and Juvenile Female Offenders

Date: October 10-14, 2009
Location: Jackson, Mississippi

Jackson, Mississippi is your destination for the 13th National Workshop on Adult and Juvenile Female Offenders. The 2009 conference is hosted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) and co-sponsored by Association on Programs for Female Offenders (APFO).

Harmony Beyond Boundaries, Blending new challenges with Emerging Ideas. This theme is especially appropriate as we come together representing our diverse backgrounds and experience to strategize on our common goals: Addressing needs, policy implications, practices, management, and treatment of female offenders in the adult and juvenile systems.

Workshops, guest speakers, exhibits, socials, and personal networking set the stage for our exchange of best practices. What better venue than the state with magnolias, moonlight, and music. On behalf of the conference planning committee, we invite you to attend five days of stimulating and informative presentations related to the management and treatment of this diverse population.

Together, we have made tremendous efforts at the local, state and national level. Blending our efforts brings harmony beyond boundaries. If you have never attended one of the bi-annual conferences, please consider attending in 2009 – we look forward to seeing you in Jackson!
