He has received numerous honors over the years. Since 1995, he has been honored with eleven International Telly Awards and recognized for outstanding contributions to the field of addiction and criminal behavior at four American Corrections Association Film Festivals for his video programs.Bart Lubow, Director for the Program of High-Risk Youth at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, will be one of an illustrious panel of presenters on detention reform. Bart Lubow’s work has focused on sentencing alternatives and advocacy since 1974. He became a Senior Associate at the Annie E. Casey Foundation in 1992. For the past 15 years, he has been the manager of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiatives (JDAI), and has been Director of Casey’s Program for High Risk Youth since 2002.
Tim Murray, Executive Director of the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI), will be joining Bart to discuss detention reform. He has worked as a criminal justice practitioner at the local, state, and federal levels. His extensive experience includes management and executive positions with the pre-trial services systems in Washington, D.C. and Miami-Dade County, Florida. While in Miami, Tim was the principal architect and administrator of the nation’s first drug court.

In his current position, he has provided technical assistance to numerous programs and organizations, nationally and internationally.

The New York State Department of Probation and Correctional Alternatives will be presenting their newly developed NYS Fundamentals of Community Corrections Curriculum. New York State continues to lead in the development of evidence- and skill-based learning for probation officers and community correction professionals. Drawing from New York State’s Fundamentals of Probation Practice, a nationally recognized training curriculum that was accredited in 2008 by the American Probation and Parole Association, the Fundamentals of Community Corrections includes the latest information on screening, assessment, motivational interviewing, and case planning.
Cliff Kenean, District of Columbia Pre-trial, will be presenting Pretrial 101. We will also be hearing from Monroe County Pre-trial Services about Program Auditing, the NYC Criminal Justice Agency and others on Validated Risk Assessment Tools, and other noteworthy professionals on New Initiatives.
