The American Jail Association is committed to the professional growth of individuals who work in and manage our nation's jails. Promoting and encouraging sound management practices through meaningful training programs and providing for the exchange of technical information at our Annual Training Conference and Jail Expo are some of the many ways we try to accomplish this goal.

Conference awards and scholarships are some of the ways dedicated people who work long and hard to accomplish the goals of their agency can be acknowledged for their efforts and enhance the growth of their own careers.
