Corrections Leadership in Action: Beyond Bars Webinars

Why Webinars?

Corrections reform isn’t just about changing policy—it’s about changing culture, systems, and outcomes for real people. That transformation starts with learning, sharing, and connecting—and that’s exactly what these webinars make possible. We are highlighting innovative work to spark new ideas, creating the space for important conversations, and challenging leaders to think bigger. This is too important to be complacent, and the costs are too high not to strive for better. 

​

We have been honored to hear about some of the incredible work Tom’s colleagues and friends are doing, continuing his legacy and pressing forward with new ways to improve corrections. These ideas are too good not to share on a wider platform. 

​

While much innovation happens behind prison walls, we hope that these webinars give a glimpse into the good work that is happening and spark more innovation around the globe. 

​

Here’s why these webinars make a difference:

​

• Spotlight Real Solutions

We elevate models that are working on the ground, not theory, but approaches that reduce recidivism, increase safety, and improve lives. And connect our audience with the Directors who are creating change and want to help other departments be successful. 

​

• Bridge Silos

Webinars bring together corrections directors and staff, policymakers, formerly incarcerated individuals, advocates, and community leaders—people who rarely get to sit at the same table.

​

• Inspire & Equip Change Agents

Whether you're a front-line officer, a DOC director, or a nonprofit leader, you’ll walk away with practical tools and renewed motivation to drive change.

​

• Honor the Legacy of Tom Clements

These conversations carry forward the legacy of a visionary leader who believed in dignity, second chances, and safe, humane corrections systems.

• ​Create Momentum

Each webinar grows a community of committed changemakers, helping to build collective will and spark action across the country.

Why You Should Attend​

​

• To stay on the cutting edge of what’s working in corrections reform
   

• To find partners and allies doing similar work
   

• To move from burnout to breakthrough, with new energy and insight
   

• To be part of the global and bipartisan conversation that’s shaping the future of justice
   

Attending these webinars isn’t just professional development—it’s a commitment to a better future for our systems, our communities, and the people within them.

​

We wish we could bring everyone on-site to see each one of these departments in action, but we are thankful for technology that allows us to connect virtually and give you a glimpse behind the bars. 

​

It is our hope that these webinars leave you inspired, equipped, and ready to create positive change within your own sphere of influence.
