Student Day
Today’s students in criminal justice studies are the potential leaders of tomorrow’s jails. In recognition of these future leaders, the American Jail Association is excited to invite criminal justice students to our Criminal Justice Student Day during our 42nd Conference & Jail Expo.
The 10th Annual Criminal Justice Student Day on Tuesday, May 23 at the CHI Health Center gives students and future leaders in the field the opportunity to attend workshops, participate in a Q&A session with jail practitioners, and tour the Jail Expo.
