A new vision for the county jail matters

Some of the goals I want to achieve as your Sheriff are:
  • Keep you safe by running a professional modern jail system
  • ​Focus on reducing reoffending through rehabilitation
  • Measure the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs
    • Publicize the results
    • Reform programs that do not work
    • Expand programs that do work
  • Boost the three pillars of prisoner reentry through post-release discharge planning on:
    • Housing to reduce homelessness upon release
    • Employment through education and skills training
    • Health care including drug addiction treatment and mental health treatment
  • Prioritize correctional officer advanced training in:
    • working with mental illness
    • de-escalation tactics 
    • implicit bias awareness
    • ​duty to intervene
  • Make our jail system a modern national model in evidence producing and transparent corrections
