What people have said about Joyfields' programs

  • "Your company provided an incredible opportunity for professional development and was laser focused around what other facilities are doing regarding reentry and reintegration based on statistical evidence based practices. I personally utilized this workshop from a vendor perspective to ensure the opportunities our company is pursuing in reentry and reform is in line with Best Practices and working towards Evidence Based Practices in the Correctional Industry. I was truly amazed by the detail and level of information your course provided. As a matter of fact, I would say that this was one of the best “hands on” educational programs I have ever attended, including many of the Masters level courses I attended in graduate school. I will be, and have already, STRONGLY recommended this course for our County, DOC, and international correctional customers and would even recommend this to other vendors of the corrections industry interested in providing reentry or rehabilitation services.

    This was truly worthwhile and should be a mandatory course for Correctional Leaders everywhere."  LK, Securus Technologies

It was very well organized, and extremely professional.  I like the research that is provided to support the re-entry processes outlined in the training.
