Congratulations to the 54th Graduating Class of the National Jail Leadership Academy

Thirty-seven men and women from 15 states and the Virgin Islands graduated on November 7, 2025, as members of Class 54 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 transition to senior leadership positions in their agencies successfully.

Pictured is the 54th Class of the National Jail Leadership Command Academy, faculty, and staff. The session was held November, 2-7, 2025.
