- We had a chance to check out the new ODOC electric vehicle from Canoo, outside our offices in OKC. This vehicle will be headed to Lexington to be used for perimeter security at our facilities there. We are excited to add the Canoo EV to our fleet. #ODOCProud

GIF - Our team of narcotic-detecting pooches took on some new recruits yesterday. Two girls and six boys, the first litter to mom Boomer. These Belgian Malinois will soon be helping us detect contraband inside our facilities. Looking good, little guys!

- 80 inmates got their GEDs last week @ Bill Johnson Correctional Center. As we’ve said before, getting inmates an education is key to helping them avoid returning to prison, so let’s give these men a hand! This pushes BJCC's graduate total to 4,001 since 1996.
- . @BetsyDeVosED addressed our record @tulsacc Dick Conner CCgraduates today, urging them to take control of their futures. "Your education is your education. And it’s the right education if it prepares you for successful careers and a meaningful life." 1/2
- Five inmates at Oklahoma State Penitentiary have graduated from the PHASE - Step Down Program. Friday, June 29, the inmates celebrated this accomplishment with family and friends at OSP. These five men will soon be transferred to a medium security facility.
- We are starting a collaboration with nonprofits and @GovStitt's office to connect men and women to be released via commutation with the services they need to avoid returning to prison. Our full release is here: doc.publishpath.com/newsroom/Key/S… #HB1269 #reentry
- 11 Eddie Warrior inmates received their drivers license or state ID cards today from the Muskogee County Tag Office thanks to an ODOC project. Many of them, shown here, will be discharging Monday after HB 1269 made State Question 780 retroactive. Congratulations, ladies!
- Our transition fairs have ended after taking place across the state for inmates potentially nearing release under HB 1269. We held 28 fairs that connected 781 inmates with more than 200 people from 45 nonprofits and DOC community partners.
