2019 ACA Boston Program Book_149th Congress of Correction

education program startups within correctional settings often compete with security missions of prisons and behavior issues of students. Drawing from problem-solving techniques and collaborative working relationships between education and internal shareholders, we will walk through examples that illustrate how to implement creative solutions in providing post-secondary opportunities to inmates in level 5 prisons. We dive into some best practices from solving real-world problems like screening, education support, technology topics and outlooks for successful completions. Objectives: Participants will be able to analyze Georgia’s implementation of post-secondary programming; review the startup encouraged by the 2016 Vera Institute paper on expanding access to post-secondary education; and explore the issues, pitfalls and lessons from the one-year program. Moderator: Uzoma Anadu, Education Program Specialist, Georgia Department of Corrections, Forsyth, Georgia Speakers: Uzoma Anadu, Education Program Specialist, Georgia Department of Corrections, Forsyth, Georgia; Lance Brantley, Southwest Principal, Georgia Department of Corrections, Forsyth, Georgia Most of the empirical data used to develop evidence-based practices for rehabilitating juvenile offenders came from male-only samples. Programs designed for males are not able to meet the specifics and complexities of the risks females face and specific root causes of females entering the justice system. Gender differences require treatment programming specific to female needs and diagnostics. Juvenile justice (JJ) agencies have traditionally neglected this population of offenders. This workshop will discuss preventative work to keep girls out of the system and will provide strategies for best outcomes with girls who are in our systems.
