The National Institute for Jail Operations (NIJO) is pleased to announce Karl “The Mailman” Malone will be the Keynote Speaker at JAILCON19 Western Regional Conference in Scottsdale, AZ, June 3-5, 2018.

Karl Malone, nicknamed “The Mailman”, played power forward his first 18 seasons (1985–2003) in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Utah Jazz and formed a formidable duo with his teammate John Stockton. He also played one season for the Los Angeles Lakers. Malone was a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, a 14-time NBA All-Star, and an 11-time member of the All-NBA first team. His 36,928 career points scored rank second all-time in NBA history (behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), and holds the records for most free throws attempted and made, in addition to co-holding the record for the most first team All-NBA selections in history (tied with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James). He is considered one of the best power forwards in NBA history.
