Becoming a Jail Administrator is a wonderful accomplishment!  Who knew about all the challenges that would come with it?  

This New Jail Administrator Training course will provide you with skills to assist you in your role, but more importantly it will connect you with other Jail Administrators to help you get through those challenges.

The four days you will spend together will give you plenty of time to ask questions of each other, learn other people’s strengths to help with future questions, and give you ideas to improve your jail/staff/connections.

You will leave with contacts, great stories, ideas based on great presentations, and a re-energized spirit to continue growing in your role.

 

Who Should Attend: All newly appointed Jail Administrators, who have not attended this course, are invited to attend.

Dates: September 21-24, 2026

Location: Hyatt Place, Verona, WI

Registration Fee: There is no cost to attend this training program. Lodging is provided for those who live greater than 50 miles from the training location.
