The Office of the Ombudsman acts as a bridge between concerned civilians and the Department of Corrections by gathering information that may potentially uncover or lead to the reduction of problems within the corrections system, thus ensuring that the rights and safety of prisoners are protected. Contact the Office of the Ombudsman if there is a legitimate concern pertaining to the care and safety of an inmate, including physical and sexual abuse, threats, harassment, medical and/or mental health treatment.
