Special Event: #cut50 5th Annual National Day of Empathy (Virtual Only)

UT, United States

On March 25th, hundreds of activists will meet with elected officials across all 50 states and in Washington, D.C., sharing their experiences and stories, and exemplifying the human consequences of a criminal justice system that has gotten too big, too unfair, and too brutal. Grassroots networks all across the country will be mobilized to spotlight their local efforts and unite under a unified banner to highlight the strength of the criminal justice reform movement. By bringing impacted people and their families together with elected officials and using media and storytelling to share their stories, we can create empathy on a massive scale for millions of Americans behind bars and their loved ones. Free and open to the public. Live stream on Facebook Live will be available.

UDC Focus Meeting – September 2020

Virtual Meeting via Zoom

The Utah Department of Corrections invites interested community members to attend Focus, a discussion forum. The next meeting will occur virtually in September. We will share a link to the virtual event on this page in the near future. In the next session, we plan to discuss the New Correctional Facility being built in Salt Lake City, a few miles west of the SLC airport. We're excited to share how this facility will provide opportunities to expand treatment and evidence-based programming, and enable us to move toward direct supervision. Our public forums are an opportunity to engage families and friends of incarcerated individuals, and community members in a dialogue around a specific topic in order to share information and address concerns. Families and friends play such a critical role in an offender's success, and it's important to us that we provide them with the information and resources they need to support their loved one. For questions, please reach out to Kaitlin Felsted, Communications Director, at [email protected] or 801-560-7608. If you have specific questions regarding your incarcerated loved one, or Corrections in general, we encourage you to continue utilizing our public website or contact us at [email protected] / 801-545-5500.
