Abstract

The goals of the DDOC are to improve public safety through the supervision of adult offenders within facilities and in communities; create an environment conducive to productive offender programming and treatment; maintain a stable and skilled workforce; ensure that every offender receives medical health care in compliance with the National Commission on Correctional Health Care standards; and reduce recidivism through collaboration among State agencies and community organizations.
