The National Institute for Jail Operations (NIJO) was formed in 2011 as the primary resource dedicated to serve those that operate jails, detention and correctional facilities.

NIJO is the only organization to offer the following resources under one umbrella a with legal-based emphasis:
These resources are a far departure from the past traditions of "best practices" that may undermine administrative discretion and do not reflect current case law uniquely applicable to each facility. In corrections, with limited budgets and resources NIJO represents jails and detention facilities by providing the most current information and resources from a welcomed, trusted source.
