Commissioner ⁦@DOCRCarter⁩ hosts ⁦⁩⁦@IvyTechCC⁩ with ⁦@NotreDame⁩ & Holy Cross during ⁦@BetsyDeVosED⁩ & ⁦@SenatorBraun⁩ visit at Westville Correctional Facility. Expansion of offender education programs is the key to success ⁦@GovHolcomb⁩

It was a privilege to meet the students at Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility who are learning computer coding while incarcerated. Through "The Last Mile" program, they have a second chance to learn an important skill that will help them find employment upon reentry.

@DOCRCarter with @BetsyDeVosED during her visit at the Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facilty meeting students and learning about @TLM (The Last Mile), an innovative education & technology training program for incarcerated persons

Great seeing ya @SenToddYoung

Will go unnoticed by some but is a huge deal & result of intentional efforts over several yrs. Com. Carter & Team @IndianaDOC are rock stars! @GovHolcomb integrating #NextLevelJobs programs matters, as do efforts like @ICANdogs! https://t.co/dKWwuGBmun @IndianaCCT @WorkforceIND

We're so proud of you! #NextLevelJobs

Good News is Always Worth Repeating: Thanks to @SenatorBraun, @RepJimBanks, @SenToddYoung and @RepAndreCarson for recognizing the benefits of expanding access to quality postsecondary education in prison. #RestorePell @GovHolcomb @HolyCrossND @IndianaDOC

Thank you @LGSuzanneCrouch for visiting Branchville Correctional Facility to learn more about our mission to promote public safety by providing meaningful, effective opportunities for successful re-entry.

Situation Control Team (SITCON) for the southern region had a great practice session! SITCON includes specially-trained facility team that is activated during emergencies to conduct negotiations during hostage situations or in situations requiring the use of negotiation tactics.

Through @ICANdogs, they train and place dogs 🐕 with people with disabilities while learning foundational life skills themselves. In yet another program, the Mosquito Net Project, they sew life-saving mosquito nets for families living in areas fraught with malaria. (3/3)

Others are navigating parenthood and strengthening the mother-infant 🤱🏾 bond through the Wee Ones Nursery program. Not only are these women working to better themselves, they’re striving to make a positive impact in the world... 🌎 (2/3)

Our team was thankful for the beautiful 🌞 weather today, as we toured the Indiana Women’s Prison. These women are working hard to improve themselves through some really great programs. Some are learning to code through @TLM, providing them with in-demand employable skills. (1/3)

Commissioner Carter kicked off the 2019 Case Management Conference at the Correctional Training Institute. The annual conference is attended by over 300 Case Management staff representing every IDOC adult correctional facility in the state.

Happy Birthday boss! @GovHolcomb

Keep up the great work Sgt. Clemmons!

Reception Diagnostic Center and Warden Craig Grage are pleased to announce the promotion of Leatha Sweatt to the rank of Major. Major Sweatt joins the prestigious few females who have held this rank in IDOC history. #WomensHistoryMonth
