How Utah is on the Leading Edge of Corrections

What is the future of corrections and criminal justice?

In a few short years, the Utah Department of Corrections has demonstrated there's a better way to transform lives in the criminal justice system than "the way it's always been done."

Utah is poised to lead the way in fostering safer communities and providing opportunities for individuals to improve...through first-of-their-kind programs, innovation based on research-backed approaches, embracing emerging technologies, a strong relationship with the Utah State Legislature, and the commitment of a well-trained staff who believe in the work they do.

Utah Department of Corrections Executive Director Jared Garcia and Communications Director Richard Piatt, along with guest Utah State Senator Derrin Owens, bring their expertise to the topic on this episode of the Conversations with Corrections podcast.
