Professionals working in corrections and community supervision play a vital role in protecting public safety. By supporting the transition and successful reentry of people involved in the criminal justice system, corrections and community supervision practitioners help bridge the gap between individual's risk to commit further crime and their successful return to communities as productive, law-abiding adults. The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) helps criminal justice practitioners and leaders maximize their efficiency and effectiveness. With offices in Washington, DC, and Aurora, CO, NIC serves a national constituency consisting of the nation's jails, prisons, and community services agencies; policymakers; and community service partners, including healthcare, employment, education, and related organizations with a mission to improve the communities they serve by enriching the lives of others.
