Mission & Interests
Goals: ICPA is an innovative Association which enhances international and inter-agency co-operation. We actively promote policies and standards for humane and effective correctional policies and practices, assisting in their development and implementation.
We believe that imprisonment is a last resort and support the development of alternative sanctions and community corrections. We believe in integrity and professionalism, the sharing of ideas and partnerships. We believe in the capacity for positive change in individuals, their dignity and the duty to protect their rights.
ICPA works with Local Organising Committees across the world to bring our major annual conference and regional events to the doorsteps of prison and corrections professionals. Outside of our events we continue to encourage discussions, networking and partnerships via workshops, Network Groups, social media and interactive online services.
