Advancing Data in Corrections Summer Conference
In May, CSG Justice Center staff continued planning for the Advancing Data in Corrections Summer Conference.

CLA emailed all 50 state DOC Directors so they could nominate a research analyst or director to attend the conference and submit their name to CSG Justice Center staff.
CSG Justice Center staff identified research directors to participate in a panel at the conference on how they helped transform their agency's use of data to make informed-decisions, and formally invited them to the conference.
