This year, IDOC was awarded the prestigious Rees- Stalder National Award for Sustainability in Corrections for the Department’s efforts in creating sustainable practices across all state facilities. Whether it is through donations to food shelters, tornado relief, or cleaning up parks and neighborhood streets, IDOC staff and offenders are always there to help Hoosiers in their time of need.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page{s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. Y ou will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Friday,January September 4, 2013 9, 2011 The USS Vincennes Ticonderoga Class Missile Cruiser has left “port” from the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility (WVCF) bound for a permanent home in Vincennes, IN. The model was presented in appreciation to former Vincennes Mayor Belle Kasting. Ms. Kasting is a long time member of the WVCF Community Advisory Board and active supporter of the facility PLUS (Purposeful Living Units Serve) unit. PLUS offender Larry James constructed the scale model. The “ship” took over 1000 hours to complete and is made entirely from card stock paper, cardboard, thread, paint, and glue. The “real” Vincennes was launched in the 1980’s and retired nearly two years ago. (see photo right) Several residents from the Indianapolis Re-entry Educational Facility assisted staff at Community Action of Greater Indianapolis, Inc. in preparing more than 1,000 food boxes for the agency’s Holiday Meal Program. Director Cynthia Taylor and other agency representatives presented the group of residents with certificates of gratitude for their work in feeding the needy. IDOC Superintendents and facility staff from across the state joined Central Office for a preview of a new documentary featuring the Indiana State Prison (ISP). This two-part documentary series, titled “Life and Death: Inside the Indiana State Prison”, was filmed at ISP in May/June 2012 by a production crew from Plum Pictures Ltd out of London. The documentary features interviews between the host, Sir Trevor McDonald, and ISP Superintendent Bill Wilson, staff and offenders. The series aims to give audiences insight into the day-to-day life inside one of America’s oldest maximum security prisons.
