Scaling Project Vista Across Diverse Correctional Environments (PID027)

11am – 11.45am WEST, 23 April 2026 ‐ 45 mins

Parallel Workshops

CoreCivic’s Project Vista is redefining correctional spaces through a scalable framework that promotes safety, dignity, and rehabilitation. This session will showcase how Vista’s four guiding principles—Normalization, Biophilia, Carceral Geography, and Trauma-Informed Design—are driving meaningful change across diverse facilities. Attendees will explore real-world examples of incremental design improvements and learn how these evidence-based strategies enhance resident wellbeing, staff morale, and operational outcomes.

The session will feature recent implementations, feedback from lived experiences, and findings from third-party impact analyses, offering a data-driven perspective on why design matters. Whether you manage a single unit or an entire system, this session will empower you to implement humane, effective design strategies that foster safety and rehabilitation—regardless of scale or context.
