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
-
"I can't think of any
deficiencies in the program. 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. It is
good to have educational research to support the training being
offered." - JH, Multnomah County
-
"On behalf of the Prison Department at the Ministry of Justice of
the Republic of Lithuania I would like to thank you for the great
opportunity to get acquainted with the prison and rehabilitation
system of Georgia and Florida states. The material that was
delivered during the Course will be of great use in everyday
activities of penitentiary institutions of Lithuania. Good luck,
Joyfields Institute!" - Violeta Patachaite, Chief of International
