SESSION INFO
Sunday, June 30, 2024
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Making our Communities Safer by Reducing Harm through Supportive Intervention, Empowering Change, and Restoring Lives. The Maine Department of Corrections is committed to a new model of corrections, one promoting the safety and wellbeing of staff and residents, while also ensuring residents and community clients see fewer barriers as they meaningfully engage with rehabilitative-focused services. This operating philosophy, known as the Maine Model of Corrections, is founded in the principles of normalization and humanization, with emphasis on destigmatization, respect, and modernization of the Department as a whole. The transformation to the Maine Model of Corrections will lead to a stronger, healthier, and more meaningful environment for staff, residents, and clients, without compromising the importance of public safety. Working closely with victim service organizations and community partners, the Maine Department of Corrections will continue to emphasize the importance of sound community transition practices and safe Maine communities.
