The Inmate Programs & Reentry Division is comprised of inmate programs and services, Arizona Correctional Industries, and Community Corrections. The Division focuses on ensuring that inmates are placed in evidence-based programs geared toward their individual needs, commensurate with their risk to recidivate, from the time of their initial assessment at reception, through their incarceration, and upon their transition to release to community supervision. The Division of Inmate Programs and Reentry is led by Karen Hellman, who brings a wealth of education and experience within ADC managing addiction treatment, sex offender treatment, and the reentry program.
