Maine Department of Corrections

MDOC is responsible for the direction and general administrative supervision, guidance and planning of both adult and juvenile correctional facilities and programs within the State.

Commissioner Martin Magnusson is assisted by

  • Harold Doughty, Associate Commissioner for Adult Community Corrections

The mission of the Department of Corrections is to reduce the likelihood that juvenile and adult offenders will re-offend, by providing practices, programs and services which are evidence-based and which hold the offenders accountable.

Implementation of the Department’s mission and achievement of our goals will be shaped by six guiding principles.
