What the grant funds

The most fundamental goal of every jail is to maintain a safe and secure environment for staff, incarcerated individuals, and visitors. Effectively managing the behavior of incarcerated individuals is critical to this goal. The purpose of Strategic Inmate Management (SIM) is to promote safe and secure environments by employing the best practices of direct supervision and inmate behavior management applicable to all physical plant designs in jails. SIM is the intentional integration of the principles and strategies of direct supervision and the elements of Inmate Behavior Management as a unified operational philosophy. It is an evolution of the direct supervision and Inmate Behavior Management training and assistance that the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) once offered. With the SIM initiative, NIC works with jurisdictions seeking to integrate a comprehensive approach to managing the behavior of incarcerated individuals. The goals of this initiative are to: • Support correctional leaders and staff in fulfilling their role in providing safe and secure facilities. • Demonstrate the importance of having a cohesive management strategy to manage the behavior of incarcerated individuals effectively. • Assist correctional agencies in integrating SIM as an operational philosophy, ingraining SIM in the organizational culture. • Build organizational capacity to sustain the integration of SIM throughout all levels of an organization Statutory Authority: Public
