The mission of the Department of Corrections is to reduce the likelihood that juvenile and adult offenders will reoffend by providing practices, programs and services which are evidence-based and which hold the offenders accountable.
Each of our facilities, adult and juvenile, have passed rigorous American Correctional Association audits with outstanding scores and earned national accreditation.
