| Dear Neighbor,
Congratulations to DeVaughn L. Ward, who was recently named as Connecticut's Interim Correction Ombudsman. DeVaughn is a former student of mine and I am proud of him and all of his accomplishments.
The Correction Ombudsman will be responsible for regularly reviewing and evaluating the operations of correctional facilities under the authority of the Connecticut Department of Correction (DOC), communicating with individuals in DOC custody and taking actions to ensure their rights, and recommending procedure and policy revisions to DOC.
The person who is eventually nominated to be the permanent correction ombudsman will need to be confirmed by the General Assembly and then will serve a two-year term. |
