SCP works to promote certain goals and standards:
To establish and perpetuate an educational and scientific national society composed of physicians who work or specialize in correctional health care services;
To maintain and advance the highest possible ideals and service standards in education, practice and research in correctional medicine;
To encourage, promote and support colleagues, universities and professional schools in their efforts to achieve the highest standards of teaching and research in correctional medicine;
To stimulate educational and training activities in correctional health care at all levels;
To support the development and strengthening of effective correctional health services provided by institutional and voluntary organizations;
To encourage correctional physicians in personal and professional development;
To enhance the interest of correctional physicians in health promotion and disease prevention;
To create a forum through which correctional physicians may work with other interested organizations in managing and improving the public health of incarcerated patients, selected populations, and the nation as a whole.
The means through which the society hopes to achieve these goals and standards are its strict and highly-regarded code of ethics, Mission and Vision statements and the interaction, exchange of knowledge, and best practices of its members.
