The Department began operating in February 2006 to manage adult and juvenile offenders in custody and in the community.
The Department fulfils its obligations by:
- providing offender management services that protect the community
- diverting offenders from committing further offences and from further entry into the criminal justice system
- supporting offenders to become responsible citizens by adopting law-abiding lifestyles
- promoting crime prevention.
Nearly 4000 staff are involved in the day-to-day running of the Department’s facilities and services.
