REMINDER TO COMMITTEE CHAIRS

STATE DOC SEEKS VOLUNTEERS
Ronald J. Farino, Community Involvement Program Coordinator with the Washington State Department of Corrections Ahtanum View Correctional Complex, and volunteer guardian, D. Roy Richards, provided the program for Tuesday’s meeting.
Farino reported that the Ahtanum complex houses 130 felons. Overall, DOC supervises 16,000 offenders in prison and 60,000 people in community custody. The Department is looking for creative ways to monitor lower risk offenders in order to help deal with the state’s $2.4 billion budget deficit.
There are 72 volunteers helping at the Ahtanum View complex. Many serve as part of risk management teams that help make decisions about the supervision of offenders who are about to be released and help supervise those offenders once released.
