Who We Are

Our membership includes Directors from state corrections agencies, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, military corrections, and local jurisdictions such as Los Angeles County, the District of Columbia, New York City, and Philadelphia.

CLA members are among the top correctional leaders in the country, collectively managing more than 400,000 professionals and overseeing the supervision and care of nearly eight million incarcerated individuals, probationers, and parolees.

Why Partner With CLA

Correctional Leaders Association (CLA) is the nation’s most exclusive correctional association that limit's its members to only top tier decision makers of each state.

CLA hosts 10 to 12 conferences annually. With the appropriate membership level, organizations enjoy full access to all conferences without incurring additional costs, ensuring ongoing engagement throughout the year.
