The CNA team has been conducting listening sessions with jail stakeholders at local jail conferences on behalf of the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). On May 22-23, 2022, the CNA, along with BJA and NIC held a listening session at AJA Annual Conference with small, medium, and large jail representatives to discuss core topics related to best practices, challenges, and needs. On June 28, 2023, CNA, along with BJA and NIC held a listening session at NSA Annual Conference to discuss the same core topics. The information gathered from these sessions will be used to develop tailored technical assistance resources that can support local jail facilities to comply with constitutional requirements and best practices. The JJSC will continue to host listening sessions at the upcoming national conferences of our partner organizations.
This listening sessions inform BJA, NIC, CNA, and the larger JJSC partners about the needs of the field in order to better support resource development.
