Guiding Principles

In response to the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s (BJA) 2019 Comprehensive Corrections Training and Technical Assistance solicitation, The Moss Group, Inc. (TMG) was selected to conduct a national scan as part of the Improving Institutional Corrections Academy Training cooperative agreement. As trusted partners in criminal justice and corrections, TMG has spent over two decades dedicated to helping state, local, federal, and private organizations achieve organizational excellence in corrections. This includes developing strategic solutions to sensitive issues facing correctional administrators, executives, and leaders.

The guiding principles are intended to provide a framework for best practices in the field to ensure staff receive the highest caliber training available. Similar to other Department of Justice projects, this body of work results in a tool to organize priorities for a contemporary correctional training academy. Without the guidance and participation of the National Steering Committee, these guiding principles would not be possible.
