In association with the @ap-ls.org's Corrections Committee, we have officially launched the Correctional Psychology Forum--a respectful online space to make connections, generate healthy discussions, and share evidence-informed resources related to correctional psychology issues. #corrections

More correctional psychology research is needed to enact better living conditions for incarcerated individuals and working conditions for those who are employed in correctional institutions. Thank you to Ashley Batastini & David Pitts for your insights into this important area! #apls2025

I know it's Puerto Rico and I know it's Saturday morning, but do not miss the closing plenary with me and David Pitts of the Urban Institute. Even if corrections isn't your "thing," the core message (spoiler alert) is about collaboration. We'll meet you at 10:45 AM in San Juan 4-8. #AP-LS2025

Not going to lie, I’m a bit scared about this! 😬

Super excited to talk corrections (as always)! Dr. Pitts is going to share about his unique pathway into this work and how he pushes to make changes as a project leader. Bring your questions and we’ll see you there!

UPDATE: Dr. Skeem is unfortunately unable to attend the Corrections Committee panel due to a travel conflict. But, we couldn't ask for a better "replacement" than Dr. Virginia Barber-Rioja for our discussant!

Students! This event is specifically for those who applied to pre-doctoral internship placements within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which still has not secured exemption status, to hire trainees. All other major federal agencies were able to participate in this year's match.

If you're someone who cares about psychology and mental health in the US, please take a few moments to complete this survey and express to #APA how urgently exemption status must be given to hire pre-doctoral interns within the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
