Strategic and Effective Practices in Juvenile Confinement Facilities Division

Larry Miesner, Division Director

The OJJDP/NJDA Overcrowding Project’s accomplishments completed the circle of information and interventions. To make training and technical assistance effective, there must be a component that conducts research on effective practices, operations, and systems. Dissemination of this knowledge occurs through training, education, technical assistance, and strategic planning. By moving the implementation of the Jurisdictional Teams Training to CRPD, NJDA fulfilled the need for information on Effective Practices and strengthened the training and education divisions of CRPD.
