Priorities
We are dedicated to creating and sustaining safe environments for all. By reducing risk, following consistent procedures, and sharing responsibility for safety, we strengthen our ability to protect people and communities, improve outcomes, and accomplish our mission.
We recognize every person's well-being is essential to both their own success and the long-term success of the agency. By fostering a culture of wellness—physical, emotional, and psychological—we promote resilience, reduce recidivism and burnout, and support healthier environments.
We are committed to working together across divisions, disciplines, and with partners—including families of residents, community providers, and others who support successful reentry—to deliver consistent, evidence-based correctional interventions.
We commit to applying strategic priorities consistently across all areas of the agency to promote alignment and unity.
