Details:
This program aims to enhance the effectiveness and fairness of the disciplinary process, preserve the integrity of the disciplinary system, and inform those staff involved in the disciplinary process while focusing on rehabilitating justice-involved persons within correctional facilities across the United States. This initiative seeks proposals to develop a comprehensive, ITIP training program that can be provided to different stakeholder groups involved in the disciplinary process. The overarching goal is to equip correctional staff, with an emphasis on disciplinary hearing staff, and leadership with the knowledge and skills to uphold institutional rules and regulations, ensure the procedural fairness necessary to conduct legally compliant disciplinary proceedings, and promote rehabilitation to enhance institutional safety and security.
Objectives
The awardee will successfully satisfy the scope of work by building a disciplinary hearing training curriculum that will cater to correctional staff members with disciplinary hearing responsibilities and to institutional and agency leadership. The training curricula will be approximately 24-40 hours with a facilitator’s guide, a participant guide, presentation slides, a course description, recommended instructor prerequisites, and any other materials needed for an institution or agency to deliver the training.
