Pennsylvanian Department of Correction’s Budget
Pennsylvanian Department of Correction serves as the state’s facility for rehabilitation, confinement, and care of inmates. In 1953, through a legislature act, Bureau of Correction was formed. In the year 1980, the Office of General Counsel to the Governor changed with the former Pennsylvania Department of Justice for the Bureau of Correction. This led to the election of the state attorney general and disbanded the Justice Department. Bureau of Correction was elevated to cabinet level status making it Pennsylvania Department of Correction (PADOC) in 1984 under the Act 245.
The department is structured into four; the first is the Training Academy for its employees.
