Washington State Department of Corrections

The Washington Corrections Department, based in Tacoma, WA, operates as the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC). The agency oversees various aspects of corrections, including community reentry, incarceration, programs, and services for both incarcerated individuals and their families. The DOC also provides resources for victims of crimes, along with conducting research and data analytics to improve its operations.

One notable initiative is the Construction Trades Apprenticeship Preparation program at Cedar Creek Corrections Center, demonstrating a commitment to skill development and community engagement. Additionally, the department recently unveiled the nation's first DOC owned and operated mobile dental clinic for incarcerated individuals, showcasing innovative approaches to healthcare within correctional facilities.

With a focus on maintaining public safety and supporting individuals under community supervision, the Washington Corrections Department plays a vital role in contributing to safer communities. Through collaborations with Indigenous Peoples, Tribes, and Nations, the agency acknowledges and respects the ancestral lands on which its facilities operate, emphasizing a commitment to working together to improve the lives of all community members.
