Resulting from years of underinvestment and disparate application of evidenced-based best practices, correctional systems across the country require significant reimagining. It is critical that we continue to evaluate processes to create and evolve with modern best practices to better serve our state and our staff.
Through the Modernization priority, we will modernize systems, structures, technologies, and processes to achieve the nation's leading model of corrections.
Success looks like:
Vermont's correctional system utilizes modernized systems, structures, technologies, and processes.
The Department cultivates meaningful partnerships to advance community engagement and restorative practices.
Modernization is embedded within each strategic initiative and advances innovative, efficient, evidence-based, and data-driven solutions Department-wide.
