Letter from the Commissioner
For the Indiana Department of Correction, 2022 was a year of significant accomplishments and a change in leadership. I want to sincerely thank my predecessor, Commissioner Rob Carter, for his committed service. We made incredible progress under his direction, and I’m proud to continue building on that solid foundation.
As we move forward, I want to focus on creating a workplace culture where everyone feels welcome, supported, and valued. Our staff are the backbone of the department, and they deserve our unwavering support.
Investing in our staff will be a top priority. As the correctional landscape evolves, we must stay adaptive and resilient to meet the challenges ahead. At the same time, we need to be preparing the next generation of leaders to take charge of this agency. We need to equip staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their current roles as well as in the future.
The health and wellness of our staff are also very important. Working in corrections can be emotionally taxing and we need to provide the resources our staff need to continue to do their jobs. Our strategy will be to grow our programs that support both physical and mental health and offer new options and resources to address staff needs.
We will not waver from our commitment to ensuring public safety and assisting in the rehabilitation of those who are incarcerated. We continue to strive for successful reintegration for all re-entering citizens through partnerships with our communities and evidence-based programs.
Transparency and open communication are essential to building trust, and we will continue to engage with all stakeholders, including our staff, incarcerated population, valued partners, and Hoosiers across the state.
Thank you for being a part of what we do,
Christina Reagle, Commissioner

2022 saw the appointment of Deputy Commissioner Erica Parish. While only in the position during the final months of the year, she spent time meeting and coordinating with staff from across the department to develop her Future Engagement Access Training or FEAT plan for the following year. This included the implementation of a revamped staff culture survey that assures the department is listening and gathering feedback on the culture and daily operations of the department. The ultimate everyday goal of Diversity & Development is to educate and support the agency.
