Since 1985, The Association for Justice-involved Females and Organizations (AJFO) Conference has held a biennial conference in an effort to educate correctional systems, programs and communities on how to effectively address accountability, competency development and the gender specific needs of women and girls who are involved in the criminal justice system.

Conference attendees represent a diverse array of corrections officers, practitioners, state administrators, policy makers, program directors, women with lived experience, advocates, researchers, and program developers. The conference has traditionally been attended by more than 600 professionals from federal, state and local correctional systems, as well as treatment providers and researchers from the United States, Canada and other countries. This is one of the only national professional conferences that is exclusively focused on women and girls involved with the justice system. The goal is to provide professionals with resources that support women, strengthen families, and empower communities who are affected by the justice system.
