NIC is encouraged by the implementation of Core Correctional Practices by community supervision agencies across the country. However, in order for staff to confidently and effectively use Core Correctional Practices, they must learn how to use the skills, know when to use them, why the skills can be effective, and what they are hoping to accomplish. With the proper tools and support, Core Correctional Practices in probation and parole have the potential to reduce the number of people incarcerated while maintaining public safety and invoking long-term positive change. In 2019, the National Institute of Corrections issued “Facilitating Behavior Change with Person’s Under Community Supervision” Request for Proposal for the design and development of specialized training and resources that will provide front-line community supervision staff the required knowledge, skills and abilities to incorporate Core Correctional Practices effectively during one-on-one interactions with offenders. Community Resources for Justice staff along with NIC staff will discuss the project vision, goals and the curriculum development process.
