    The MCSO Corrections Standard

    Across both institutions, our employees work cohesively to eliminate unnecessary barriers to future success. By treating every individual with dignity and respect, providing fair access to comprehensive medical treatment, and encouraging active engagement in rehabilitative programs, the Corrections Division fulfills its dual mission: protecting immediate public safety, while strengthening the long-term well-being of our community.
