SESSION INFO
Tuesday, February 1, 2022
11:15 AM - 12:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
People working in the criminal justice system must take an honest, critical look at how we perceive and interact with justice-involved individuals. In this workshop, Dr. Powell fuses his firsthand experience as a community supervision officer with criminal justice data to propose four urgently needed yet easily achievable mindset shifts that will foster the well-being of people with criminal records and build stronger communities. This workshop will also explore the Georgia Department of Community Supervision’s (DCS) shift towards a Person-Centered Supervision Model that enhances the supervisee’s voice in their supervision and will highlight how DCS has relied upon elements of procedural justice, technology, and research to deliver supervision that makes a difference in communities across Georgia.
