“In the United States, the agencies that govern prisons are often called ‘Department of Corrections.’ And yet, their focus is on containing and controlling inmates. Dan Pacholke, Deputy Secretary for the Washington State Department of Corrections, shares a different vision: of prisons that provide humane living conditions as well as opportunities for meaningful work and learning.”

This presentation of new ideas about what’s possible to make prisons truly “departments of correction” is excellent.
Outstanding talk! Truly the inmates feel better about themselves when they have a sense of purpose.
Thank you David for finding and including this on the website. It was excellent!
