About corrections
Corrections is a uniquely complex area of public affairs. It touches on all areas of human experience, and to work in this area requires that we respect the individuality and humanity of everyone involved: people who come in contact with the justice system and those who work within it.
Prisons, jails, and community supervision agencies continue to evolve and improve. That’s the good news. But their progress often isn’t recognized by the public these agencies serve. It makes it that much harder to create the organizations of the future.
It’s time for our communities to speak up for what they value, and for our agencies to be more effective at sharing their progress and earning more of the appreciation they deserve.
