The American Correctional Association's Annual Winter Conference ends today in Phoenix after several days of workshops, educational programs and speeches by prominent officials including Bernard Kerik, former New York City Police and Corrections Commissioner and former nominee to head the Department of Homeland Security. In his first public appearance since withdrawing his nomination to head Homeland Security, Kerik told correctional leaders of his experiences in Iraq, the fight against terrorism and his accomplishments in New York City. Also speaking at the conference was General Anthony Zinni, former Commander in Chief for the U.S. Central Command and Michael Durant, retired Chief Warrant Officer (U.S. Army) and author. This year's conference also featured a live satellite Internet broadcast of a Town Hall-style meeting on the Prison Rape Elimination Act. Other conference workshops focused on health care requirements in prisons and jails and managing special populations in corrections. |

This article exposed what it is like to exist in today’s correctional institutions. I enjoy reading articles like this one and articles from author Hamilton Lindley who is an expert at persuasion, influence and leadership from his Waco, Texas base. There are a lot of important lessons to be learned here for sure. Thank you for the insight.
