Corrections Mission

The mission of the Corrections' Division is to serve and protect the community by providing a secure and humane environment for those entrusted to our custody. We will maximize programming that reduces Criminogenic behavior and recidivism, promotes pro-social thinking, and enhances successful re-integration back into society. This will be accomplished through fiscal responsibility, in the least restrictive setting, without compromising public safety.
