Congratulations to the 42nd Graduating Class of the National Jail Leadership Academy

Thirty men and women from 14 states graduated on June 17, 2022, as members of Class 42 of the National Jail Leadership Command Academy (NJLCA). The leadership program is a collaboration of the American Jail Association and the Correctional Management Institute of Texas and is held on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.

Through five days of instruction by veteran jail practitioners and through interaction with one another, graduates developed leadership skills that enable them to successfully transition to senior leadership positions in their agencies.
