Approximately two months ago the PA DOC Monitor experienced technical difficulties and lost all site content prior to August of 2007. Unfortunately, we did not keep good backups (a practice we plan to change). We are in the process of rebuilding and ask you to bear with us while we restructure. We have not stopped accepting submissions, or our prison outreach program. As always, any submissions or questions can be sent to editor@pa-doc-monitor.org. Thank you for your patience.

Jackson, Mississippi will be the site for the Thirteenth National Workshop on Adult and Juvenile Female Offenders which will bring together leaders in the fields of adult corrections, social work, law enforcement, juvenile corrections, mental health and education for a comprehensive overview of this rapidly expanding area of corrections. The conference, hosted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC), 70-620 will be held in Jackson, Mississippi from October 10 -14, 2009 at the Jackson Marriott, 200 Amite Street, Jackson, Mississippi.
“The Mississippi Department of Corrections is proud to host this important conference and has worked hard to provide participants with a program full of informative meetings, interesting speakers, and educational training activities,” said MDOC Commissioner Christopher Epps. “We realize that working with the female population is a specialized field and with the training offered at this conference, we hope participants leave more informed, more inspired, and more engaged than when they arrived.” 640-863 The conference will cover topics relevant to the female inmate population, including breaking criminal behavior cycles, rebuilding lives through discharge planning and re-entry coordination, assisting inmate patients receiving psychiatric services and addressing the changing needs of adolescent females in the juvenile system. Featured speakers include Marian Wright Edelman, PMI-001 president of the Children’s Defense Fund, Mary Leftridge Byrd, Federal Security Director, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Dr. Stephanie Covington, Co-Director, Center for Gender and Justice, La Jolla, CA, and MDOC Commissioner Chris Epps.
