One of the Institute's primary missions is to serve as a focal point to facilitate collaboration among researchers, public health officials, criminal justice professionals and technology solution and healthcare providers for the criminal justice population.

To this end, ICJH provides the following quality research and education services: 

Research & Evaluation

The Institute is committed to bridging the gap between research and practice in public health, corrections and criminal justice. Our experienced staff works closely with agencies, organizations and other professionals working in the criminal justice system to provide comprehensive research and evaluation services. Some examples for the criminal justice population include:

• Prevalence and Incidence Studies
• Analysis of Industry Practices
• Product Use and Evaluation Reports

In addition, the Institute develops and implements Online Surveys and Interactive Questionnaires.

The Institute specializes in the creation of custom education programs that successfully impact the health of offenders and the community. Our diverse staff includes healthcare and corrections specialists as well as Internet programmers, graphic artists, conference and meeting planners, video producers and an extensive network of expert consultants in the areas of juvenile justice, public health, corrections and criminal justice.

And, because of our strong technology expertise, we can easily blend your curriculum into cdrom, web based training, video or other mutlimedia platforms.

Educational and Training Materials
While ICJH aggressively implements new technologies, we also understand that the written word is still an integral part of the learning process. ICJH's writing and marketing staff provide assistance with brochure creation as well as developing education pamphlets, workbooks and other printed training and educational materials for offenders.

Our network reaches throughout the 50 states as well as Internationally, to promote "a total approach" to healthcare in the criminal justice population. 

Seminars and Workshops 
ICJH works one-on-one with entities to develop and coordinate their own custom workshops that are interactive, innovative and provide tangible working solutions for practitioners. We assist with theme and content development, panel coordination and final presentation. 

Grant and Proposal Writing / Fundraising
