The Center for Court Innovation (CCI) seeks to help create a more effective and humane justice system. Originally founded as a public/private partnership between the New York State Unified Court System and the Fund for the City of New York, the Center for Court Innovation creates operating programs to test new ideas and solve problems, performs original research to determine what works (and what doesn't), and provides expert assistance to justice reformers around the world.
The Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES) aims to increase public safety through innovative services that reduce crime and incarceration, improve behavioral health, promote recovery and rehabilitation, and create opportunities for success in the community.
CCI and CASES will discuss how social workers are integral to criminal justice reform, how social workers make their programs run, as well as the challenges and rewards of working in the criminal justice system. They will also discuss current career opportunities at their organizations.
