Innovative Prisons Infrastructure Conference (2024)

Introduction

The planning and design framework has changed substantially during recent years. IPIC presents a new opportunity to bring experts in the field of prison planning and design together to improve our understanding of how modern planning and design knowledge can be seen by correctional professionals as a driver for change.

Through IPIC, participants will connect and share insights, lessons learned, and information relating to new developments and projects where innovative design solutions are used to help corrections to address issues facing prisons and probation today. The conference will also provide significant networking opportunities to build connections and allow participants to improve their understanding of the use and implementation of advanced planning and design solutions.
