Over the past several years, the Department of Corrections has designed and implemented a thoughtful strategic planning process which follows the model found in the 4 Disciplines of Execution, Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling.
This process has already led to many changes within the department, including:
• establishing reset training and new curriculums for basic and
annual trainings for staff;
• introducing new technology and corrections innovations;
• implementing policy improvements;
• team development;
• better collaboration with other criminal justice partners;
• increases in pay and other benefits for staff;
• an overhaul in food service and commissary operations;
• a reclassification of offenders;
• improvements in offender treatment; and
• an overhaul of information available regarding our agency.
