that inmates serve their sentences in prison and parolees complete their terms in
the community and later, when the vast majority of the felon population returns
home. It is our pledge to you that all of our resources are always marshaled and
our efforts focused on the population, pressing offenders to prepare for their release,
ready to rejoin society as civil and productive individuals. We all succeed when offenders
are accountable to their communities and equipped to take care of
themselves and their families.
