The Psychology of Incarceration: Part 7

The Psychology of Incarceration (POI) curriculum is designed to improve the social skills, problem-solving abilities, self-control, and self-efficacy of justice-impacted individuals. Based on criminogenic needs research, this curriculum challenges conventional views on incarceration and reentry.
