Registration is open!

NIJ's annual Technology Institute for Corrections is designed for corrections managers to learn about and discuss technology initiatives and issues affecting the corrections community.

During the week-long institute, attendees will receive and exchange information about existing and developing technologies, problem-solving relating to technology implementation, and technology lessons learned. Attendees also will participate in briefings and demonstrations at various locations in the Baltimore, Md., area.

The goals of the Institute are to provide:


Participants the opportunity for continual education on technologies applicable to corrections.
Participants the opportunity to meet and interact with other corrections professionals.
NIJ the opportunity to improve and build on its technology development programs based on participant experience and comments.

Cost and Attendance

There is no registration cost and all travel, food, and lodging expenses are paid by NIJ. However, attendance is limited to 25 mid-level managers from state and local corrections and community corrections agencies who are involved with technology and technology initiatives within their departments.

An agency may only submit one application for consideration. Alumnus from previous Institutes (including NIJ's Technology Institutes for Law Enforcement and Rural Law Enforcement) will not be considered.

Selected participants will give brief (no more than 15 minutes) presentations on a technology application that their agency has encountered or is in the process of implementing (e.g., records/case management, biometric identification, physical security/access control upgrades, automated booking, electronic monitoring). The presentation can be either on an "issue to be dealt with" or a "lesson-learned." Selected applicants must submit a presentation and a one-to-two paragraph synopsis via e-mail or on CD-ROM by Friday, Sept. 4, 2009.

Register

The deadline for submitting an application is July 31, 2009. The application must be completely filled out for the applicant to be considered.
