Welcome to the 149 th Congress of Correction

WELCOME

I think it’s quite fitting for the American Correctional Association to be in Boston! The city of Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States and has many stories to tell of this nation’s great founding. As we celebrate 149 years of existence in championing the cause of corrections and correctional effectiveness, let us tell the greatest stories of our association’s founding as we lead up to this Congress of Correction, which promises to be unforgettable. As it was sung in the “Concord Hymn,” Boston’s “the Shot Heard ‘Round the World,” which prompted the path to freedom, let us sing of the “Congress of Correction Heard ‘Round the World” with this great gathering of corrections professionals, who diligently protect our nation every day. After 149 years of coming together in one place, we continue to offer

a unique experience with ACA’s dynamic workshops, one-of-a-kind General Session, interactive Health and Wellness Expo, continuing education credits, state-of-the-art exhibitors, fascinating speakers and networking opportunities that are a must for anyone in the corrections industry. I want to thank our generous host committee for meeting and exceeding all expectations. I must admit that I am rather excited to be attending my first Congress of Correction as ACA president, and I look forward to the next two years as I serve the American Correctional Association and the corrections field humbly and always with a focus on our members and those we serve. With a warm welcome to all who are here, let us be “heard ‘round the world” this summer as we kick off the 149 th Congress of Correction in Boston!

Gary C. Mohr President American Correctional Association

ACA 149 th Congress of Correction — 7

Welcome to Boston!

On behalf of our American Correctional Association leadership, host committee and staff, I am absolutely delighted to welcome you to the 149 th annual Congress of Correction in Boston! Because Boston is such a historic American city, it is only fitting that ACA holds a “historic” Congress of Correction right here. At this conference, there will be amazing opportunities to participate in a variety of groundbreaking sessions, workshops and special events. I invite you to attend as many as you can during this week. The dozens of vendors in our exhibit hall feature the leading edge of technology and essential services in the world of corrections. Don’t miss your chance to see them all. One of the hallmarks of ACA’s Congress of Correction is the unique opportunity to become certified and gain continuing education

WELCOME

units. The all-around knowledge you will gain from the thought-leaders who present or speak at this year’s congress is sure to put you in the vanguard of professionals. Clearly, that is why it can be said: attending an ACA conference furthers your professional career like no other. As you know, events like the 149 th Congress of Correction don’t just happen by themselves. Many dedicated individuals worked tirelessly to bring the moving parts all together. I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, who was involved in producing this outstanding event.

ACA Executive Committee

The American Correctional Association’s Executive Committee for 2019-2021 is comprised of some of the finest women and men in corrections. It is an honor and a privilege to announce the officers of the Executive Committee: Gary C. Mohr, president; Tony C. Parker, president-elect; Tony M. Wilkes, vice president; Denise M. Robinson, treasurer; and Lannette C. Linthicum, immediate past president. ACA’s Executive Director James A. Gondles Jr. serves as secretary, while our Board of Governors representatives consist of Elizabeth F. Arthur and Derrick Schofield. Each officer serves a two-year term and is elected by the association’s membership from recommendations made by the Nominating Committee. None of these names or faces are new to many corrections professionals, as each of these officers have cemented a legacy of advancing the field of corrections through their tireless work and innovation in their respective communities and nationwide. Their dedication and hard work will undoubtedly have a lasting impact on our association for many years to come. As we embark on our journey through the next few years of their leadership, rest assured that they will not only maintain, but exceed the standard of excellence that our prior leaders have instilled throughout our association’s nearly 150 years of history.

Essentials of Addiction Treatment – MAT Training for Correctional Staff Room 201 • 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Treatment with FDA-approved medication (MOUD) is the standard of care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Although the evidence shows that the use of medications improves outcomes and reduces morbidity and mortality for individuals with OUD, especially during the high-risk 30-day post-incarceration period, MOUD is not uniformly available to inmates in our correctional settings. With changing legislation across the country sup- porting the treatment of OUD in correctional settings, this training will prepare medical staff to implement MOUD with incarcerated patients. The content will draw from lessons learned from the adoption of MOUD in other states, including the recent implementation of H4742, An Act for Prevention and Access to Appropriate Care & Treatment of Addiction, in the state of Massachusetts. Learning Objectives: In this training, we will discuss substance use disorders (SUD) as diseases; the impact of stigma; medications for treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders; the role of the nurse in treating patients with SUD; and opioid overdose prevention, recognition and response. Moderator: Michelle Viets, Director of Nursing, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Columbus, Ohio Speakers: Kristin Wason, MSN, NP-C, CARN, Clinical Educator for the Office Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) Program, Boston Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts; Justin Alves, RN, ACRN, CARN, Clinical Nurse Educator, State Technical Assistance and Treatment Expansion of Office Based Addiction Treatment (STATE OBAT), Boston Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts Ethical Decision Making in Correctional Health Care Room 204 • 8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Knowing and understanding one’s professional ethical standards are necessary for the provision of services. This workshop will discuss the application of professional ethical standards within a correctional environment. Because not every conceivable situation can be covered in the written standards, we will educate and increase awareness of participants through discussion of relevant case examples. Special emphasis will be given to the role of conflict often encountered while providing competent medical and mental health care in a correctional setting. Topics cov- ered will include confidentiality, competence, identifying the “client,” collaboration and relationships, and self-care. Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to discuss respect for offender welfare through knowledge of confi- dentiality, informed consent and the right to refuse treatment versus denial of care; participants will be able to dis- cuss providing responsible care that promotes the well-being of the offender; participants will be able to describe the role of the multi-disciplinary team in establishing a secure and therapeutic environment; and participants will be able to describe various ways to approach ethical decision making. Moderator: Randy Sauls, Assistant Commissioner of Health Services, Georgia Department of Corrections, Atlanta, Georgia Speakers: Harbans Deol, D.O., Ph.D., Medical Services Director, Nebraska Department of Correction, Lincoln, Nebraska; Deborah G. Schult, Ph.D., President of Clinical Affairs - Behavioral Health, VitalCore Health Strategies, Topeka, Kansas Suicide Prevention and Self-Injurious Behaviors Room 204 • 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Suicide is the leading cause of death in jails and the fourth-leading cause of death in prisons. Correctional staff should be trained to identify and respond to risk factors associated with suicide and self-injury. It is imperative to ensure that staff whose duties involve direct contact with inmates receive suicide and self-injury prevention train- ing during employment orientation and in-service training yearly thereafter. Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to identify the characteristics of offenders that present suicidal and self-injurious behaviors; understand the basic concepts regarding suicidal and self-injurious behaviors in the incarcerated population; and recognize the expected practices related to the prevention of suicide and self- injury among the incarcerated population. Moderator: Stuart Hudson, Assistant Director, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Columbus, Ohio Speakers: Deborah G. Schult, Ph.D., President of Clinical Affairs-Behavioral Health, VitalCore Health Strategies, Topeka, Kansas; John Baxter, Ed.D. , Health Services Advisor, CoreCivic, Nashville, Tennessee

Health Care Special Session and Luncheon VIRAL HEPATITIS Prevention and Control in Correctional Settings Saturday, Aug. 3 • 12:30–1:45 p.m. Hynes Convention Center, Ballroom A Noele Nelson M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H.

Session overview: Viral hepatitis is of growing concern in correctional settings. The involvement of the correctional com- munity is essential for viral hepatitis prevention and control. During 2016–2018, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received approximately 15,000 reports of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infections from U.S. states and territories, indicating a recent increase in transmission. Since 2017, the vast majority of these reports were related to multiple outbreaks of infections among persons reporting drug use or homelessness. Therefore, people who are currently or were recently incarcerated are considered to be one of the highest risk groups for acquiring HAV infection in these outbreaks. The prevalence of chronic hepa- titis B virus (HBV) infection has been higher among prison inmates, reflecting an overrepresentation of persons entering correctional facilities with risks for HBV infection (e.g., injection-drug use and histories

of multiple sex partners). Recently there has been a national increase in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection incidence due primarily to the opioid crisis. People who inject drugs represent a group at particularly high risk for HCV infection. These topics will be discussed, and a brief overview of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) hepatitis A and B vac- cine recommendations and the plans for updating the CDC guidelines on the prevention and control of hep- atitis viruses in correctional settings will be provided. Learning objectives: • Identify the at-risk groups for the ongoing hepati- tis A outbreaks in the United States. • Describe the Advisory Committee on Immuniza- tion Practices recommendations for hepatitis B vaccine in correctional facilities. • Recognize the association of injection drug use with the increase in hepatitis C virus infection incidence.

About the speaker: Dr. Noele Nelson is the Acting Branch Chief for the Prevention Branch, Division of Viral Hepatitis, CDC. Dr. Nelson joined the Division of Viral Hepatitis at the CDC in 2013 and she is responsible for overseeing national efforts to test, implement and monitor hepatitis B and C screening, linkage to care and treatment interven-

tions, and perinatal hepatitis B and C prevention. In addition, Dr. Nelson focuses on hepatitis A and B vaccine recommendation development as the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices hepatitis vaccines work group lead. She earned a Master’s in Public Health (1996), a M.D. from the Medical School for International Health (2004) and a Ph.D. from Ben Gurion University in Epidemiology (2005). She completed her residency training in Pediatrics at Georgetown University Medical Center (2007).

C hris Christie was inaugurated as the 55 th governor of the state of New Jersey on Jan. 19, 2010. He was re-elected with 60 percent of the vote in November 2013 and served two terms as governor. He left office in January 2018. During his time in office, former Governor Christie emphasized the issues of fiscal responsibility, pension and health benefit reform, education reform and the opioid crisis gripping his state and the nation. His March 2017 law restricting opioid prescriptions led to a 26 percent reduction in those prescriptions in its first year. He also devised the state’s groundbreaking response to Superstorm Sandy, leading the rebuilding of the state’s housing, infrastructure and public schools and setting a bi-partisan example for storm recovery. Christie was a leader among his colleagues as governor. He was elected chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) in 2014, leading the organization to a record fundraising effort and the election of 31 Republican governors. This was after he served as vice-chairman of the RGA in 2012. He was also elected to the Executive Committee of the National Governors Association and served from 2010-2013. On March 29, 2017, President Donald J. Trump appointed Christie as chairman of the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis. Christie led the commission on a seven-month investigation of this issue, holding hearings around the country. The commission issued an interim report on July 31, 2017 and a final report on Nov. 1, 2017. The reports con- tained more than 65 substantive recommendations, all of which were adopted by President Trump.

Prior to his service as governor, he served as the United States Attorney for the district of New Jersey from January 2002 to December 2008. He was nominated by former President George W. Bush on Dec. 7, 2001 and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Dec. 20, 2001. As the chief federal law enforce- ment officer in New Jersey for seven years, he led the fight on terrorism post-9/11, increased resources to fight gang violence, gun crimes and political corruption. His office brought 130 cases prosecuting political corruption at all levels of the New Jersey government and never lost a case. He served as one of 17 U.S. attorneys on the Attorney Generals Advisory Council in Washington, D.C. Christie was in the private practice of law from 1987-2001, specializing in corporate law, securities matters and appellate advocacy. He graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1984. He was awarded a Juris Doctor degree by Seton Hall University School of Law in 1987. He is admitted to the bar of the state of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court of New Jersey and the United States Supreme Court. He is now a senior legal and political commentator for ABC News and the managing member of the Christie Law Firm and Christie 55 Solutions, LLC in Morristown, New Jersey. Christie married his wife, Mary Pat, in 1986. They have four children: Andrew, Sarah, Patrick and Bridget. They currently reside in Mendham and Bay Head, New Jersey.
