Disciplinary Hearing Officer Training for Corrections

Agency: National Institute of Corrections

Assistance Listings: 16.601 -- Corrections Training and Staff Development

Last Updated: May 13, 2026

The U.S. correctional system maintains public safety while fostering rehabilitation among justice-involved persons. NIC recognizes the importance of a firm, fair, consistent, and effective disciplinary process to enhance public safety and promote the successful rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals. This cooperative agreement seeks to improve the understanding of all correctional staff about their role in the disciplinary system and the application of disciplinary procedures. A key task of the initiative is to develop a comprehensive, ITIP (Instructional Theory Into Practice) training program for different stakeholders involved in the disciplinary process. The overarching goal is to equip correctional staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure that procedural fairness is maintained when conducting disciplinary proceedings that are firm, fair, impartial, and legally compliant.
