During the session, participants learned about:

• Innovative resources to enrich their understanding about what it means to be gender responsive in women's correctional settings.
• The Gender-Informed Discipline and Sanctions Policy Guide, developed by the NRCJIW to assist women's facilities in developing gender-informed discipline and sanctions policies.

Webinar participants will be notified when a copy of the Gender-Informed Discipline and Sanctions Policy Guide is available.  If your agency has innovative and/or gender-responsive policies, protocols, practices to share, please email them to Rachelle Ramirez at rramirez@cepp.com. Thank you in advance!
