In accordance with Mayor Muriel Bowser’s decision to modify the work schedule of District of Columbia employees, the CIC will operate under a 100% telework schedule until March 31, 2020 from 9 am to 5 pm.

The CIC contacted BOP and the DOC to inquire about protocols for handling the coronavirus outbreak.

The DC Council passed the Youth Rehabilitation Amendment Act of 2018, in December of 2018 which seeks to address the lack of specific programming for individuals sentenced under the previous YRA.

The DC Corrections Information Council (CIC) is planning an evaluation of Hope Village, with an on-site inspection in early February 2020. We would like to talk to any current or recent (last 2 years) residents of Hope Village.

The CIC is mandated to inspect and monitor the correctional facilities where DC residents are incarcerated, including DC Department of Corrections facilities in the District and over 100 Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities across the country.
