Richmond, BC - September 1, 2011

Syscon Justice Systems announced today that it will be in attendance as a Gold-level Institutional Member at the International Corrections and Prisons Association’s 13th Annual AGM and Conference in Singapore from September 11-16, 2011. This year’s meeting, Unlocking the Second Prison, will bring together thought leaders and experts from the corrections industry, the private sector, and volunteer organizations to explore how prisons and community agencies can work effectively with each other and with other agencies to improve the transition from custody to the community and to improve and support interagency co-operation.

"This annual gathering is one of the best of its kind in terms of sharing corrections best practices from around the globe,” said Bob Elson, Senior Vice President. “For Syscon, the chance to interact with senior corrections leadership from dozens of nations is invaluable to our business, and we place great importance on our long-standing relationship with the ICPA."

Syscon has a strong interest in offender reintegration into the community. The company has invested considerable resources in the development of evidenced-based assessment tools to help corrections officials confidently identify offenders who are ready for safe re-entry into society.

The six-day ICPA event is expected to draw more than 400 senior corrections officials and business people from more than 70 countries. More information regarding the conference can be found at www.icpa.ca/calendar/.
