Agency: Corrections Function The Department of Corrections is the adult correctional authority for the State of Utah. The Department's primary mission is community protection. The mission statement of the Department reads as follows: 'Our dedicated team of professionals ensures public safety by effectively managing offenders while maintaining close collaboration with partner agencies and the community. Our team is devoted to providing maximum opportunities for offenders to make lasting changes through accountability, treatment, education and positive reinforcement within a safe environment…' To accomplish its mission, the Department develops and provides programs that identify and control the convicted offender's inappropriate behavior. Programs also prepare and assist offenders in functioning as law-abiding citizens. The Utah Department of Corrections housed an average of over 6,500 inmates in 30 facilities. The majority of inmates are housed at two locations—Draper and Gunnison. The Division of Institutional Operations manages the inmate population in the secure facilities. In addition, inmates are housed in county jails in 21 of Utah's 29 counties on a contractual basis. Once an inmate is released from prison, or if a person is sentenced to probation, they come under the responsibility of Adult Probation and Parole. The Adult Probation and Parole Division operates facilities throughout the state to supervise assigned parolees and probationers as they transition to the community. Statutory Authority The Department of Corrections is governed primarily by Section 64 of the Utah Code Annotated. - UCA 64-13-2 creates the Utah Department of Corrections and grants it functional authority;
- UCA 64-13-6 outlines the Department's duties.
Funding Detail Department funding consists primarily of General Fund with a small percentage of Federal Funding. Dedicated Credits Revenue is primarily generated by Utah Correctional Industries, which teaches inmates new job skills while operating for-profit businesses. Most other Dedicated Credit Revenue budget amounts are very small. | Sources of Finance | 2005
