- Redemption and Certificates of Rehabilitation
This page contains resources on:
Redemption - the process of lifting the burden of the prior record (Blumstein and Nakamura, 2010).
Certificates of Rehabilitation - The Certificate serves as an official document to demonstrate an individual’s rehabilitation, which could result in enhanced employment opportunities (also referred to as Restoration of Rights or Certificate of Relief from Disabilities or Certificate of Good Conduct).
- Correctional Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative (CAHTI)
In response to a new threat to correctional operations and the welfare of inmates, NIC has begun its initial efforts in the area on correctional anti-human trafficking. As we understand the law, this would involve a person under the correctional jurisdiction/supervision being coerced into a sex trade/act for someone else's commercial gain. It is our goal to develop strategies for creating both staff and inmate awareness of the issues, and continue to operate in a manner that reflects our commitment to safety and security.
