Executive Summary:

The Office of the State Auditor conducted an audit follow-up on the performance audit of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (report # 3022) dated November 24, 2004. Since the original performance audit report, the Department has undergone a major reorganization. In the summer of 2007, the Department combined adult offender and inmate areas into one division – Adult Services. This reorganization appears to be an appropriate move and assists in alleviating certain concerns we had previously noted with the Department (lack of cooperation, communication, etc. between divisions). Department representatives believe the reorganization has been working well. The Department should be commended for taking a proactive approach in this area.

 

Findings:

Our conclusions in this report are based on limited reviews of information, and there is a possibility a more substantial review of information may have changed our conclusions. As a result of the follow-up review, 26 recommendations were determined to be fully implemented, 19 were determined to be partially implemented, 5 were determined to be not implemented, and 1 was determined to be no longer applicable.
