What the grant funds

This National Institute of Corrections (NIC) program will fund training and technical assistance to federal, state, local, and tribal correctional agencies that will build their capacity to develop, enhance, and maintain restrictive housing programs that support safe, humane conditions that prepare people who are incarcerated for reintegration into both the general population and society at large. NIC’s training approach will address the most challenging questions facing correctional officials: What is the best way for correctional agencies to manage their most violent and disruptive incarcerated population[DL1] ? How can they best protect the most vulnerable and victimized among them? And what is the safest and most humane way to do so? Additionally, people incarcerated with serious mental illness (SMI) and are violent or disruptive pose a special challenge to correctional agencies nationwide. Their behavior often requires their removal from the general population, and yet traditional forms of restrictive housing present many challenges. NIC’s restrictive housing training focuses on best practices around identification, placement, and management of the entire incarcerated population, including those with SMI. NIC is committed to providing training and technical assistance to the field to ensure federal, state, local, and tribal correctional agencies are knowledgeable in effective practices and have the tools to safely reduce restrictive housing populations. NIC will expect the provider selected under this program to deliver training focused on implementing best practices to reduce the use of restrictive housing and improve its management.
