The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is a center of learning, innovation and leadership that shapes and advances effective correctional practice and public policy. We provide training and technical assistance at no cost to the field of corrections at the federal, state and local levels on a variety of topics. NIC honors the perspectives and expertise of practitioners, and we continue to seek to inform our work through collaborative relationships with correctional agencies. NIC has several on-going projects that could be greatly enhanced by the addition of video and illustrative graphic elements, such as, short "person -on-the-street; clips, specific topic interviews, scripted vignettes, and other formats that illustrate and emphasize project topic foci. The use of professionally produced representational, relational, organizational and interpretative images and videos are a critical part of e-learning, virtual and in-person learning experiences. High resolution images and video clips are desired for all NIC learning platforms, including asynchronous e-courses, training program print materials and the NIC website.
