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…' The Utah Department of Corrections houses approximately 6,600 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 (see Jail Contracting). In addition to housing state inmates, the Department develops and provides programs in order to manage the convicted offender's inappropriate behavior. Programs are also designed to prepare and assist offenders in functioning as law-abiding citizens. 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. Funding Detail Department funding consists primarily of General Fund with a small percentage of Federal Funds. Dedicated Credits Revenue is mainly generated by Utah Correctional Industries, which teaches inmates new job skills while operating for-profit businesses. | Sources of Finance | 2007
