Department of Corrections Director: Charles L. Ryan STRATEGIC PLAN – FY2018 - 2022 Vision Safer communities through effective corrections Executive Summary Strategic Issues & Strategy Strategies aligned to achieve the Arizona Department of Correction’s (ADC’s) 10-year goal: Engaged employees and communities committed to a 25% reduction in recidivism. Build an Engaged and Skilled Workforce – ADC faces significant vacancies and turnover, particularly among Correctional Officers. Strategies include conducting a major breakthrough project on employee retention, utilizing one-time compensation options, and expanding the Field Training Officer program. Managing the Inmate Population – Incidents of inmate violence result in possible injury and increased security requirements and are detrimental to creation of a prosocial program environment. Strategies include staff training on inmate management and non-violent crisis intervention, enhancing contraband detection, and increasing inmate work and program involvement. Reducing Recidivism through Reentry Preparation and Support – The current recidivism rate for Arizona inmates is 39.1%. Reducing recidivism will help to reduce prison population, decrease spending for prisons, and enhance community safety. Strategies include leading the state-level breakthrough project on recidivism reduction, improving inmate programs, increasing emphasis on inmate program completions, stabilizing inmates’ mental health needs prior to release, increasing community engagement, and improving use of offender interventions and sanctions. Mission To serve and protect the people of Arizona by securely incarcerating convicted felons, by providing structured programming designed to support inmate accountability and successful community reintegration, and by providing effective supervision for those offenders conditionally released from prison. Agency Description ADC carries out its mission by incarcerating inmates in correctional facilities and supervising conditionally released offenders in the community. During incarceration, health and welfare services are provided to inmates. Programs such as work, education, and substance abuse treatment increase the likelihood of success upon release. ADC supervises offenders released to community supervision and supports effective re-entry using a continuum of strategies and evidence-based programs. ADC facilitates return to custody of offenders who represent a threat to the safety of the community. 1 of 2 Rev.2 Principles / Values GUIDING PRINCIPLES  We have the legal and operational responsibility to be accountable and responsive to the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government; to our employees; to inmates; and most importantly, to the citizens of Arizona.  We value honesty and integrity in our relationships, and we place a high priority on quality of services and development of teamwork, trust, and open communication.  We make fiscally sound, measurable decisions, and respond effectively to the changing demands placed upon the agency by stakeholders, citizens, and their representatives.  We maintain an environment that is humane and equitable to both employees and inmates, utilizing a grievance and disciplinary system that is consistently administered and fosters due process.  We develop, encourage, recognize, and reward professional performance and growth by employees at all levels.
