Department of Corrections Budget

The Department of Corrections is closely analyzing the budget recently passed by the Legislature to determine the reductions in service that will be required as a result of the spending reductions.  We will provide this information to you as it comes available. For information on the Washington State Budget, visit the Governor's website.

Legislative and Budget Implementation

The Department of Corrections is in the process of implementing one of the largest projected budget shortfalls in state history. Legislative and budget implementation teams comprised of agency leaders, subject matter experts and key stakeholders have been convened to analyze and put into operation the significant policy and program changes we are facing. We are required to reduce staffing and services, and find the efficiencies needed to manage the agency within our appropriated budget.
