The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) is a government agency dedicated to the management and rehabilitation of incarcerated individuals in Washington State. With a focus on community reentry, the DOC offers a range of programs and services to support incarcerated individuals and their families, including visitation and family support. The DOC also collaborates with non-profit organizations, such as Unkitawa, to address the unique needs of indigenous individuals in the criminal justice system.
Through its horticulture programs, the DOC provides opportunities for incarcerated women to transform spaces, such as the Governor's Mansion, showcasing their creativity and skills. Committed to safer communities, the DOC works closely with the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board and implements the Prison Rape Elimination Act. Recognizing the importance of collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, Tribes, and Nations, the DOC acknowledges their ancestral lands and strives to improve the lives of Indigenous People and non-Indigenous neighbors throughout the state.
