Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOC) is a government agency responsible for overseeing the incarceration, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders into society. Its primary goal is to ensure public safety while providing programs that promote behavioral change, education, and skill development for inmates. The DOC manages prisons, jails, and community supervision programs, aiming to reduce recidivism—reoffending after release. By focusing on rehabilitation, the department seeks to help individuals reintegrate successfully, benefiting both the individuals and the broader community.
