Welcome and Introductions Designed for Dignity is an evolution of Restoring Promise, building on Vera’s groundbreaking work with corrections agencies since 2016 and evidence that the practices employed in our young adult housing units can make facilities safer for staff and people who are incarcerated.

Vera, in consultation with BJA, will select two corrections agencies to receive technical assistance, training (“TTA” and/or "the Project”) and targeted data collection aimed at devising, implementing, and/or enhancing strategies that create safer, more humane prison culture, climate, and spaces for correctional staff and those who are incarcerated.

On May 1, 2024, Vera, hosted a webinar that provided an overview of Designed for Dignity and the RFP process for interested states.
