It was an honour for me to represent the International Corrections and Prisons Association during the Corrections Technology Association annual summit in Fort Myers, Florida. Great to reconnect and participate in the closing panel with the inspiring colleagues and friends Thomas Herzog, Simon Bonk and Christina Emberson Reagle on evolutions in technology, digital maturity, leadership and how our associations can further improve collaboration and sharing of knowledge. Thank you CTA you for organizing this and thank you to all participants for your engagement!
Champions Community
February 17, 2025
Smart Corrections is a proud partner of the Champions Community project. This project aims to tackle the complex challenges faced by prison staff by identifying and supporting leading Prison Middle Managers (PMMs) as Champions in three selected European countries. This initiative, led by Tamara Höfer from Richtungswechsel in collaboration with Dr. Sarah Lewis, Grow Transform Belong CIC and Steven Van De Steene from Smart Corrections, focuses on building a leadership community to enhance prison staff culture and strengthen the connection between prisons, detention houses, and the community. The project seeks to foster collaboration through effective multidisciplinary work, thereby improving job satisfaction, promoting a participatory culture, and enhancing legitimacy.
