1116.1 Corrections is a critical component of public safety in Washington, DC. Just as police are essential to deterring unlawful activity, DOC should ensure that individuals who are deemed by the legal system to pose a significant danger to themselves or others in the community are humanely, lawfully, safely, and securely detained. During detainment, these individuals need to be offered meaningful opportunities to engage in activities that will support successful community reintegration. DOC is entrusted with the care and custody of these individuals, touching the lives of over 10,000 arrestees per year. DOC operates the Central Cell Block, the Central Detention Facility (CDF), and the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) and administers contractual bed space at two community halfway houses. These facilities, located in the District, require a well-trained staff, appropriate staffing levels, and comprehensive assessment of inmates to connect them to programs and services to help guide their paths forward.

1116.2 Since the 2006 adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, DOC has evolved from a system that was frequently overcrowded and operating over legislated capacity to one that now operates within its operating capacity. During the intervening years, DOC has developed a more holistic understanding of how Washington, DC’s incarceration and behavioral systems are interconnected and has enhanced relationships with respective providers. DOC is also improving employment readiness and behavioral health services programs; leveraging planning, analytics, and evidence-based methodologies; and expanding partnerships with over 103 community-based organizations as of 2017, providing a wide array of services to inmates. Facilitating voting is another pathbreaking program provided by DOC.
