Prison Initiative

Prison Initiative

NMAC's Prison Initiative helped community and faith-based organizations, correctional facilities and health departments evaluate, improve and implement effective discharge planning for HIV positive inmates and former inmates.

The Prison Initiative was initiated nearly ten years ago in response to an often-overlooked facet of the HIV/AIDS epidemic: the rising rate of HIV/AIDS in United States correctional facilities, assisting service providers and correctional staff to implement programs and effective interventions for prisoners and ex-offenders living with HIV/AIDS . 

While Prison Initiative trainings are no longer offered, we invite you to download NMAC's numerous Prison Initiative offers numerous publications, which provide comprehensive programmatic and policy information around HIV/AIDS and correctional facilities in the United States.
