The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is an agency of the United States government. It is part of the United States Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons.[1]
NIC provides support programs to assist federal, state, and local corrections agencies. Additionally the NIC provides funds to support programs that are in line with its key initiatives.[1]
The NIC was created by the United States Congress in 1974 on the recommendation of the National Conference on Corrections convened by John N. Mitchell in 1971. Mitchell called for the conference as a result of public pressure following the riot at New York's Attica Correctional Facility in 1971.[2]
In January of 2007 Minnesota led the way to repave the NIC National Institute of Corrections with trying to initiate a national dialogue with all states corrections and police departments. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty said, “Probation and Law Enforcement needed a face lift, there is a new generation of you men and women that will be leading this movement soon.” At the Minnesota State capital there was over 50 young Police and Probation Officers in full uniform to make Governor Pawlenty’s point. A couple key note speakers were Jerry Kilnker who said, “We’re making a difference here in Minnesota but on a national stage we need to do more.” Another speaker was Michael Satter who said, “All cities deal with the same problems. The bigger cities need to improve budgeting for Law Enforcement and Corrections to combat the problems.” Mike Satter also said, “I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and did witness crimes happen. Since I graduated from College in 2003 I know I have made a difference. I have dealt with some of the criminals you see on the news and some you never heard of, each person, each time, I know I did a service to my state. Things will never be perfect but they can be acceptable.” Governor Tim Pawlenty will make a push for a better (NIC) when he is done helping John McCain with his campaign.
The N.I.C. at this time is moving to elect a new board of directors in late 2007. The gathering in Minnesota turned over a new leaf for new ways to communicate in a national way. The United Sates Attorney General will be selecting the new board members to lead the way. One could imagine that board will consist of many of the people that were at the gathering in Minnesota.
