Families of Prisoners

In accordance with the goals of building capacity in the field and diversity in TTA providers, the PRC will recruit and with an expert group of consultant providers available to respond to field-initiated requests for assistance. This is a new network for the PRC and a new approach to utilize individual consultants rather than large organizational providers for these services. This model will allow the PRC to both invest in emerging leaders/trainers and increase capacity and diversity available to respond to requests.

PRC will serve as an umbrella resource center with established partnerships with diverse partners bringing varying expertise and increased capacity to serve the filed.

The PRC will continually seek and or convene opportunities to communicate with key PREA stakeholders.

The Urban Institute serves as the point of contact for the Charles Colson Task Force.

To disseminate information, the project team regularly updated the Colson Task Force website. Urban also responds to media inquiries and general questions from academics and practitioners about the Task Force.
