With 25 years of work in correctional systems reforms, NCIA has a proven track record of working with local jails, adult prisons, and juvenile training schools to find cost-effective humane alternatives to incarceration. We have developed a comprehensive needs-assessment program which evaluates a person’s experience from the time they enter a correctional system until the time they leave, and everything in between. After reviewing all of this information, NCIA develops programs and fiscal strategies to meet the long- and short-term needs of the institution, the residents and the community-at-large.

Additionally, NCIA has implemented programs in Maryland, Delaware, Hawaii, and other states to incorporate a range of options to assist youngsters in escaping the cycle of abuse and neglect that lead to juvenile delinquency and eventually, adult crime.

NCIA offers services including case assessment, community-based placement, program development and tracking, data management and more.
