We are thrilled to announce that several of our amazing team members have been honored with the Governor’s Public Service Achievement Awards!

• Elliot Anderson, Chief of Staff
• James Chruszczyk, Industry Operations Manager

Thank you for your hard work and commitment to excellence! Your contributions truly make a difference!

Members of the Community Advisory Board for Westville Correctional Facility, Indiana State Prison and LaPorte Juvenile had a chance to learn more about the new facility being built in Westville. The MH Group and IDOC representatives gave an informative presentation on the progress of the construction project and then led participants on a tour. The new facility design allows for expanded medical services, better programming space, and increased educational opportunities to support our continued efforts in reducing recidivism.

The final 2024 Culture Assessment on Employee Wellness & Safety is now open. We want to hear your thoughts on how we are doing, what practices we should continue, and where we can improve. Your honest input is critical in determining how we can move forward as an agency. Please take a moment to click the link. The survey only takes a few minutes.

Their hard work demonstrated throughout the program has truly paid off. This initiative is designed to cultivate future leaders, with participants deep diving into topics like self-assessments, leadership styles, and effective team development. Looking forward to the positive changes these emerging leaders will bring to our organization and communities!

Check out photos from this year’s Long Term Employee Banquet! This annual event brings together employees with 21+ years of service to celebrate their dedication. Their hard work has greatly shaped our agency, and we are truly grateful for their commitment.

Let’s come together to celebrate this year’s Hall of Honor inductees: Richard Brown, John Nally, Daniel Forker, and Todd Tappy! Their dedication and contributions have left a lasting impact on the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) and our community. The Hall of Honor was initiated in 2016 to commemorate individuals who have played significant roles in the Department’s history. This initiative recognizes and memorializes those who have devoted their lives to serving the citizens of Indiana and made a significant impact in the field of corrections. The Hall of Honor is an extension of the Reflections of Pride: History of IDOC Museum, also located at the Correctional Training Institute. Let’s celebrate their remarkable contributions and continue to honor those who serve!
