DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Correctional Association (ACA) has requested course materials targeted to prison personnel to assist in the management of large and growing numbers of older adult inmates. Creative Action Inc. proposes to continue the development of the Prison Information Resource Library, an innovative system designed to deliver state-of-the-art education to staff of correctional institutions through e-Learning, also referred to as Long Distance Learning. PIRL will include a series of computer-based training modules, the first of which was an overview of the topic developed as a prototype and successfully tested for feasibility in Phase I. In addition to this general overview on the aging process and aging in prison, an additional nine modules will be developed to specifically focus on critical issues and subtopics. These will include the following: Types of Aging; Prisoner Typology; Profiling Aging Prisoners; Dementia Identification & Support; Social Supports and Depression; Chronic Illness Identification & Support; Mental Health & Organic Illnesses; Managing ADL's/Long Term Care Options; Innovative Activities; and Administrative Regulations & Application in the Field. A computer-based infrastructure, which was developed as a prototype and successfully tested for feasibility in Phase I, will be fully developed in Phase II applying the latest e-Learning technology. PIRL's strong marketability to correctional departments and institutions lies in its innovative application of e-Learning technology to efficiently and effectively deliver highly relevant, timely training to staff on site. Further adding to PIRL's strong market potential will be the ability of correctional staff to obtain Continuing Education Units (CEU's) for completing PIRL modules as the product is commercialized in Phase III.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国惩教协会 (ACA) 要求提供针对监狱工作人员的课程材料，以协助管理大量且不断增加的老年囚犯。 Creative Action Inc.提议继续开发监狱信息资源库，这是一个创新系统，旨在通过电子学习（也称为远程学习）向惩教机构工作人员提供最先进的教育。 PIRL 将包括一系列基于计算机的培训模块，其中第一个是对作为原型开发的主题的概述，并在第一阶段成功测试了可行性。除了对老龄化过程和监狱中老龄化的总体概述外，还将开发另外九个模块，专门关注关键问题和子主题。这些包括以下内容： 衰老类型；囚犯类型学；老年囚犯概况分析；痴呆症识别和支持；社会支持和抑郁；慢性病识别和支持；心理健康和器质性疾病；管理 ADL/长期护理选项；创新活动；以及行政法规和现场应用。基于计算机的基础设施已作为原型开发并在第一阶段成功进行了可行性测试，将在第二阶段应用最新的电子学习技术进行全面开发。 PIRL 对惩教部门和机构的强大销路在于其电子学习技术的创新应用，能够高效、有效地为现场工作人员提供高度相关、及时的培训。随着该产品在第三阶段商业化，惩教人员将能够获得继续教育单元 (CEU) 来完成 PIRL 模块，这进一步增强了 PIRL 强大的市场潜力。
