Agency: Corrections

Function

The Department of Corrections is the adult correctional authority for the State of Utah. The department's primary mission is to protect the public. 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 6,900 inmates in 30 facilities. The majority of inmates are housed at two locations: the Draper and Gunnison prisons. The Division of Institutional Operations manages the inmate population in the secure facilities. In addition, inmates are housed in county jails in approximately 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 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 largely by Section 64 of the Utah Code Annotated.

  • UCA 64-13-2 creates the Utah Department of Corrections and grants it authority;
  • UCA 64-13-6 outlines the department's duties including protecting the public through institutional care and confinement, and supervision of certain offenders within the community.
