ICPA 14th Annual Conference
Sunday 28, October 2012
ICPA 2nd Latin American and Caribbean Regional Conference
By Cameron Brechin - April 6th, 2010
In collaboration with the Argentine Federal Prison Service, ICPA is holding a Second Latin American and Caribbean Regional Conference.
The conference entitled “1810-Bicentennial-2010” will be held in Buenos Aires, June 9-11, 2010.
The Conference will focus on four principal areas: violence and suicide in prison; the treatment of young adult prisoners; the treatment of female prisoners; and human resource training and human rights.
The conference will also present the opportunity to visit several facilities operated by the Argentine Federal Prison Service. A draft programme and further information will be available shortly at: www.icpa.ca
The ICPA was formed to operate as an Association for corrections and prison professionals, dedicated to improving global understanding and professionalism in the sector. As an Association, we believe that improving the professionalism and competence of correctional officers is likely to have a greater positive impact on prison conditions and the humane treatment of prisoners than most other actions. The Association is therefore not a lobbying or prisoner rights organisation but exists to provide an inclusive, safe and secure forum for the respectful exchange of ideas, technology, and best practices in the profession of corrections.
The ICPA is a highly effective and efficient way of co-ordinating international contacts on penal and justice matters as it has strong links with key players at senior levels in all the continents.
ICPA promotes co-operation and collaborative initiatives between jurisdictions in areas of common interest, staff exchanges and study visits between interested jurisdictions. We encourage, where relevant, the involvement of victims, offenders' families, volunteer organisations and others in the community in finding helpful and workable solutions to correctional and criminal justice issues. We try to enhance public education, and understanding and involvement in correctional matters.
ICPA is a non-governmental organisation in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC).
