This National Institute of Corrections' program statement for fiscal year 1995 explains the Institute's services -- technical assistance, training, information clearinghouse, and special emphasis initiatives -- to be conducted during the new fiscal year.
Abstract
The report describes the overall services of the National Institute of Corrections and procedures for applying for technical assistance (both direct assistance and grants) and for participation in program activities. Specific services available and ongoing activities are presented by the Institute program divisions that will coordinate the efforts: jails, prisons, and community corrections. Training programs and other services to be offered by the National Institute of Corrections Academy are then described. The Institute's program for fiscal year 1995 (beginning October 1, 1994) reflects a continuation of core services and programs as well as several new projects. The Institute recognizes that many of the problems facing corrections are not unique to a single discipline, but rather cut across the spectrum of criminal justice and corrections functions. The Institute is therefore beginning two new programs that will be organized and managed by teams of Institute staff members who represent the Jails, Prisons, Community Corrections, and Academy Divisions. One program will build on the Institute's experience in working with State and local jurisdictions to develop coordinated, systemwide sanctions; the other will focus on violent, high- risk offenders. An application form for technical assistance grants and supplementary certification forms is included at the end of the report.
