11am – 12pm EDT, 24 October 2023 ‐ 1 hour

Major Sponsor Presentation

Every incarcerated individual is a human being entitled to respect and dignity, irrespective of their personal history or past actions. This underscores the importance of a fundamental re-evaluation. We must reconsider our approach, not merely by treating inmates as humans, but by recognizing our services and support as something they inherently deserve. The belief in this commitment is a shared one, transcending any specific organization. The potential for success lies in our ability as a sector to contribute to altruistic outcomes, driven by a genuine desire for better societal results rooted in compassionate and socially responsible service delivery. This presentation will explore this concept and how our sector/ecosystem can be human elevating the approach above humane.
